Wilting…

I went downstairs to make my morning coffee and looked out on the deck.  I saw an ocean of wilting, dispirited looking plants.  The tomatoes and basil were the worst.  So, before I even had my first cup, I played Mother Nature and rained on all the deck plants.  Our poor veggies are so far behind this year…almost no rain and lots of what we here in New England call Triple H…hazy, hot and humid.  We ate snap peas for a week, but they have stopped producing.  The only things that are thriving are the potatoes, the squash and pumpkins and the volunteer sunflowers (under the bird feeders).  Oh, and the Boy’s bog garden is flourishing…my violets have leaves as big as dessert plates and the mint is abundant.
