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 .
