Blessings and prayers for your husband and all FRiends.

No rain here in CexTx but some in the forecast, hope so, I'm back to watering big time.

Tomatoes are coming in and the Romas are dry and pithy. I talked to a friend in E. Tx. that has the same with all of his so I feel fortunate it's just the Romas for me. We've decided it was the weather this year.

Ate my first ear of corn yesterday. Small, only about 7 inches, but fully formed kernels and yes, I shucked it and ate it in the garden...raw. No way does corn picked 2 minutes ago need cooking IMO.

Otherwise just hunkering down in the heat. Only in the low 90s but the "real feel" is up near 100. Comon' moderate rain!

Thanks. Corn about 7” sounds great to me. LOL Hubby’s corn is doing well, but it won’t be ready till August.

Fortunately I have some still left in the freezer. I won’t be eating it anyway for a while. Eating Low Carb right now - it sucks.

But as I have gradually decreased the carb intake, I have finally arrived at the point where I feel better, and don’t feel ravenous during the day, so I don’t plan to add back starchy veggies anytime soon. Quit using added sugar and sodas in 2008. Don’t miss it at all.
