Weather report, if you liked the temps and humidity yesterday, you’ll like today’s weather even more.

Another volunteer plant was found in the Rose-of-Sharons on the street side of the fence. This one was a volunteer tomato. We had tossed a couple over there after the birds or squirrels had pecked at them for moisture. Well, one took root and is now about 4 feet high. We pounded in a bamboo stake and cleaned out around it. There maybe only a couple of ‘maters but we like the volunteers. Four basil plants and one tomato plant; not bad.

My so-called basil/herb bed is now a squash bed. I had some volunteer squash come up (spaghetti squash seeds in the compost). Oh there's basil, but the squash is starting to overshadow.
