Rainy Independence Day ..................................

But , I was thrilled. I enjoyed the rain much more than I would have enjoyed fireworks. It's been so hot and dry here , the little rain we have received over the last few weeks hasn't helped the garden much.

It's been so hot and dry , I haven't spent much time in the garden lately , we did get 3 cucumbers before ...............................

something ate the leaves off the vine.

We've gotten a few squash , but the vines have almost dried up even though I've been watering them each day.

This tomato vine was full of tomatoes , but something ate them also. I've been slack this year and didn't put a scarecrow out. I guess I need to make one this week and put her to work. It's been a bad gardening year for us , we planted the summer crops late and it got so hot and dry that the plants haven't grown the way they should have. I hope the rain we received yesterday will revive most of the plants , but it may have been a little to late.

Hope you had a Great 4th !!
