We are headed to 89. I'm heading out, in an hour, to get the back lot mowed, before things get too sticky.

Funny thing is, I had to put my veg garden in a week later than usual, due to all of the rain and cool weather. It was so wet, I feared I'd lose everything to rot.

Then the weather turned to ideal tomato growing weather. I did lose 3, and possibly 4, tomato plants but everything else is going gangbusters, although most of the tomatoes are well behind where they should be.

I put down landscaping fabric, in the veg garden, so I don't have much weeding to do - just around the fence.
