Dear Liza,
I have been distracted by all sorts of activities since the beginning of the month, but my garden has been growing like crazy anyway. I went over Tuesday and had a good time getting my hands in the dirt and pulling a box full of weeds.
It sure cleans up pretty, doesn’t it?
The yellow summer squash are getting tall, and I put a loop of yarn on the pumpkin to encourage it to climb on the ladder rather than the tomato cages.
All the tomatoes are above their cages and in need of extra support.
We are eating lettuce and radicchio everyday from the plot, laughing at the cost of organic greens in the market.
Auntie Bridgett has named our two dahlias Laverne and Shirley, and they are both doing well! No buds yet, but it’s only a matter of time.
So Huckleberry Finn and I are spending some quality time in the garden. All in all, summer is here and the gardening is lovely!
Love,
Grandma Judy
Dear Liza
