    4 Roma's, 3 Cal Wonders, Cukes, Zucchini, Green Onions and Brussel Sprouts.

    They got a late start.

    I'll take some pics this afternoon.

    wish it rain here
    It happened before, it can happen again.
    It happened there, it can happen here.
    It happened to that person, it can happen to you.

    Northern summers are usually pretty nice.

    No rain here in about 10 days. The water collection tanks ran out days ago. I don't like paying for water when the free stuff is better for your plants anyways. Spring we had way too much rain and now hardly any. Garden has done well but still lots of time left. Best year for cantaloupes well over 20 and one top the scale at 6.6 lbs. So if I had to say today the garden has been very successful over past years

    Yes we have city water even though we live in the country. Coal mining from years didn't help the water quality so now when you build you have no choice but to hook up to water if its available. A lot of people have cisterns and on dry spells they fill tanks at the water company office. Its not unusual to see a pickup with a water tank in the back. I need to add at least 2-3 tanks to my water collection system and then I would have close to 1000 gallon capacity which should make it through the dry spells. Right now the collection system only collects from 25% of my roof.
