Another heat wave in California with temps over 100 degrees for several days. Just as my roses were starting to recover from the last heat wave. All I can do is keep them watered. They’ll survive, but they don’t like it.

The critters are starting to get into my pomegranate crop so the tree will have to be netted if I expect to get any pomegranates this year. Figs are done and grapes ripened too fast.

There’s always next year and I learn a little after each years crop.

My grape vines were very healthy and produced a decent amount this season, but the birds got to them before I did.

Yep. There’s always next year. Until there isn’t, LOL! ;)

We picked what are sure to be the last of the cucumbers yesterday. Wife makes a bath of the slices that are a nice addition to green beans and ham.
Local Mennonites have pulled back from the area farmers markets so the beans were harvested from a “garden store.” Light rain and cool temps to start the day in the Ozarks. Warmer next week.

There’s always next year and I learn a little after each years crop.
That should be our motto! Slowly but surely I'm learning how to "garden" in the desert. It's a whole 'nother kettle of fish . . .
