We’re at the opposite end of the spectrum. We’re not getting any rain, lots of sun & high temps.

The squash is about done. Green beans are slowing way down.

I dug up about 2/3 of the taters & found about 2 potatoes per plant — I’m happy as a first time tater farmer.

And...we are starting to build up quite an inventory of tomatoes.

On the radar this morning, I noticed a nice small group of thunderstorms about 80 miles to the SW that, if they remain on their present course, we might be blessed with much-need rain.

You're in Texas? I'm in Massachusetts. I think we're always on the opposite ends of the spectrum. :)

When was your last frost date? We were in the 30's at night just a couple of weeks ago. Crazy Spring, but that's typical New England weather. :)

I hope you get that rain.
