Good Morning!

Started to harvest some Cucumbers from along the driveway. A bowl of sliced cukes with Ranch dressing is a terrific lunch.

Also I diced and steamed a Kohlrabi snd served it in a cream sauce for dinner. 45 minutes from Garden to table. . . YUMM!

Still a moderate drought here. I water kinda heavy once a week. Those water crystals I mixed in the soil this year are helping.

I've been meaning to thank you for the update on the water crystals. Good info. You are doing exactly the right thing by watering deeply and less often. That discourages shallow roots and plants remain strong.

Haven't done it yet, but you and Sir Bender are killing me with the kohlrabi stories. I have got to get some planted!
