The tv says we got 3 inches of rain this week, but I thnk more like 6 at my house and 4.5 at the rain gage at Sunshine.

My kale, collard, mustard, beet, turnip and rutabaga seeds are coming up and I planted some broccoli transplants too.

I also planted cilantro, dill, parsley and celeriac but the seeds haven’t come up yet.

We are stll eating 4 kinds of summer squashes. I say we but John is squashed out so I mean me.

Sprouts opened in Austin and Central Market has lowered prices to complete. I got big red peppers for 50 cents each as well as avocadoes at 3 for a dollar and 50 cent cantaloupes. I feel like I am back in 1967.

My leek bed is starting to fill up with leeks and I am thinking it is time to take down the okra. I dug up one of my 2 sweet potato beds last week and am curing the sweet potatoes. My lima beans should be ready to harvest soon. Should I or shouldn’t I dig up all that zucchini and squash???
