Well Monday was another hot muggy day with temps in the upper 80's and no rain. We are in a drought situation here in central Florida. Thankfully my well is holding as I'm hand watering at least daily and sometimes twice. The garden is producing like crazy and I can barely give away all of the produce before it matures and goes to seed. The tomato's are so abundant this year after what it seems like they took forever to ripen but not now as I'm harvesting daily.
I started the morning out much the usual with a before 6 rollout to my routines that start with some quiet moments to honor my LORD, to give thanks for another day and to lift several up by name for comfort and healing. All are holding as of today. I headed out on my bike to the Rec for two hours of pickle ball play then made a stop at the library for a read before heading home to work outside until lunch time. We ate leftovers for lunch then I harvested a nice egg plant for our supper along with some fresh herbs to adore the fried in panko slices for our supper. Delicious and now the plant itself has started blooming again. I harvested at least a dozen nice fruits and now there are close to that many more blooms setting fruits. I also harvested a volunteer acorn squash that I had transplanted from the compose pile and the cucumbers are blooming like crazy as well, that I had transplanted from the compose pile, oh well.
I gave away several messes of kale, lettuces and tons of tomato's to three different neighbors yesterday as well and took a sack of tomato's to the Rec for one of the gals there who is under going chemo for breast cancer. She was so thankful for the fresh veggies and I'll take her a sack of collards to day as the heat is starting to take their affect on them, its that time of the season when every thing starts to dry up due to the high heat. Its been a great garden thus far this winter/spring/summer. After the cleanup from supper I headed in to watch the Rays beat the Nationals in D.C. 6-2. They have won 4 straight with good pitching and great hitting with 3 homers in this game. The Lightning are in the playoffs again for the 6th straight year, GO BOLTS, LATER
