6. We've had a crazy year in the garden...

Most everything is late. Yo-yo temps have caused the plants to scratch their collective stamens wondering what’s going on. Smoke from the Canadian fires gives us some really weird sunny days, like living under a shade cloth. On some sunny days I’ll bet we lose 20% of the effective sun power.
Everything is there just really late.

So I play with bees…


Not really a ‘bee’ it’s a Hoverfly…I was just working with the tomatoes…little bugger wouldn’t leave me alone.
They are pollinators. Constant companions.
