The Drought continues....


The heat has subsided some and we've gotten a little rain, less than 1/2", and we're still plugging along.

We got our new water pump set up. It moves a lot more water so we're actually getting caught up on watering the garden. This is bad in the fact we have some failed crops due to poor watering. We've been getting attacked by blister beetles again. Though they are stripping plants they aren't devastating the garden like the striped blister beetle earlier this year. I've finally started harvesting some tomatoes and have been harvesting cukes, squash and okra.
