I guess I shouldn't be too surprised , the temps here have been in
the mid-to-upper 90's for like 8 weeks runnin' now . And yes,
they've been "hydrated" , and no I didn't overwater them . The ones
next to the house that only get part day sun are doing better , but
still not well . On another note , the zucchini's have started to
come back , got 3 fruits on the one that was least affected by the
borers , flowers on another , and the third is hangin' in there .
Cantalopes are doing well , and the cayenne pepper plants are
loaded . I've started watering the "wild" grape vine . I suspect
the reason it's never set much fruit is because of dry spring
weather . If we're still here next year , I'll find out ...

It's time for potatoes to start dying back. They are basically done,
dig up a hill and you should find full grown potatoes.

The blueberries are fruiting like gangbusters. I'm picking 3-4
gallons every other day. I'm wasting away, but the chiggers are fat.

I wish I was up at our place in the Ozarks ... Son and DIL and
their spawn spent some time up there last week . The blackberries
are in full producion , and ripenin' fast . And momma and baby bear
are eatin' them as fast as they ripen - the littlest g-daughter saw
the baby , the son herded the family all inside ASAP .
Smart move , IMO !!

Damn, the blackberry cobbler season! I need to take a hike into the
woods and see how the blackberries are.

Our place is about a mile off the highway 9 miles south of Mountain View
Ar . Where there ain't heavy woods , there's blackberry brambles ... and
blueberries too , though only once have I managed to beat the critters to
them .
Oh , and the trees are liberally festooned with muscadine vines .

Sounds like it's just a couple miles south of paradise!
