With only one day over 90F (July 3) gardeners and agriculturalist have
been dismayed. Now on the 19th (92F), 20th (91F), and 21st (91F) we've
added 3 more days of heat which now has tomatoes ripening for gardeners,
and has set off a tsunami of grapes for local wineries who are now
running 10 - 12 hr./days for employees.

70 miles north of San Francisco

not too far from Nad, but much drier
here most of the summer.

only a little light frost so far (enough
to knock out the squash and to start some
of the beans turning). temperatures look
to be holding for at least another week
(if the forecast is right).

tomatoes, pea pods, green peppers,
butter beans, still going.

picking dry beans here or there as
i get a chance. many beans yet to
ripen and dry before i can harvest.

otherwise busy and not getting much
garden time in lately. me no like.
