FORGET THE GARDEN

Jim just came in and said the garden is destroyed. Our latest round of storms today produced quarter sized hale and beat the leaves off everything. I doubt I'll be able to talk him into planting it again since this was the third time. The first two plantings were killed by frost and cold weather even though we had covered everything. I am so disappointed. The squash already had little squash! He is more upset about the pool -- now filled with leaves! Yesterday it was sparkling.

Tragedy!!! Makes us appreciate our farmer forefathers' travails. Don't give up. Remember tomatoes!

I am reading "Appetite for Life" about Julia Child's life...a wonderful read you would enjoy.

We have a small 'indoor garden' in the works that includes tomatoes on the front porch and herbs in the kitchen window.. not much, but an effort at least!
