92 and dry. Been running the sprinkler on the garden and hand watering the flowers. Just ran a hose back to the asparagus patch to soak it good and saw lots of new ferns sprouted. I have a couple small bare spots so hopefully these will live and help fill things in. Most of the ones growing back there are taller than I am already. Nice and straight, too. No rain in the near future.

we've gotten .08 2 days ago, .02 yesterday and today haven't measured but hoping for .02. Hoping for a lot more precipitation this coming weekend.
Well the silly beans that weren't coming are popping up not sure what the other beans will do that I planted in the same bed with the first batch. Carrots are coming up. Waiting on cucumbers and corn now.
How much are you feeding your asparagus? They are heavy feeders like potatoes and corn and need to be fed regular. My asparagus didn't do well this year but it's close to 10 years old. Planted new 2 years ago so will have some good asparagus next spring.
Picked one small cucumber it had started to grow before the transplant and survived. Tomatoes are starting to bloom after I fed them they jumped a good 3-4 inches. Just need the heat to make things grow now.

Picked the first batch of strawberries this evening. Maybe 2/3 of a quart. We had a late frost that killed a bunch of blooms.
My taste tester said they were good enough to eat.

You might enjoy this. I happened to luck into an elevator ride with Gov. Little today. Our small talk was a weather report from him. “State needs water.”
