Gardening season is just starting for you, but it’s practically over in TX, 100s from here on out starting Thu.
Okra, eggplant OK, too hot for anything else to flower.
To TxHurl-reply - you know you are on Q thread and not the garden thread - right? Yes we are just starting to harvest the lettuce, spinach etc. planted this spring-not much else is ready - got a few berries so far. Garlic should mature pretty soon.

Looks to me like there’ going to be a whole lot of protected witnesses for next year’s budget. Remember the EXEC. ORDER re: Military Tribunal and allowing non-Jag attorneys was effective for Jan 2019, IIRC?
Very interesting - I wonder how this budget compares to previous years’ budgets. Keep on FreeQing.
