It’s been bone dry here in Central Missouri this week. We’ve had a couple teaser clouds roll through with some sprinkles, but not enough to even lay the dust. If this keeps up it’s going to be bad summer.

I finished cleaning up the kitchen garden after work today. Tomorrow I’ll get my tomato plants stuck in the dirt.

The green beans I seeded earlier in the week are starting to come up. Same for the cukes. I found seeds for the Russian pickle cukes that Mrs. Augie likes at Shumway’s. Those should show up in the mailbox early next week.

Nanner is still in the shop but I’m gaining. With luck I’ll have the last of the repairs finished by Wednesday.

Well, glad you’ve made progress with Nanner. Too bad we couldn’t send you one or two days of our rain. We have had more than enough for a couple of weeks.

I have a kitchen garden - but it has no plants. Hubby never got around to cutting the tree that shades it in the morning, and the house shades it the rest of the day except for about 1 hr. per day.

I have been thinking about using it to bury kitchen scraps and develop really rich dirt that could be transferred elsewhere later. In other words-growing dirt. LOL
