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 ... -- Snag Learning keeps you young ! |

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.

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 !! -- Snag Learning keeps you young ! |

Nosey neighbor had the city clean out the blackberries across the street, the weeds there are doing fine. Jeff |
