Good morning.

We are in the same heat wave (hotter than usual here at 1000’)and a noticeable lack of rain. We also have many cases of early blight in the community garden. Our plot is barely effected, but we are not sure why exactly.

Good news is that to combat it, they are easing the organic restrictions! Now if some folks would trim their plants properly we can beat it.

Harvested zuke, squash, tomatoes, peppers, onions, cilantro and peppers this week. Made a nice salsa and grilled the squash.

We had a crookneck squash plant just die. Leaves drooped, then wilted and then it croaked — all in less than 24 hours. The others in the bed are okay so far. Thought it might be gopher but the roots were fine.
