Heat wave

Suffice to say I've been remiss about blogging. Away for just over a week, then coming home to back-to-back meetings and the heat that was completely missing in Georgia, I haven't had a minute... However, the weeds and grass haven't stopped growing, so each day I take a few minutes to pull a few more, attempting to slow the exponential growth that happened while we were away.

The good news is that the edibles are all coming along en masse, too. The mustard greens continue to amaze - the hot, peppery, spicy leaves resemble a horseradish flavor - and they'll clean your sinuses, too. Which isn't a bad thing with so little rain, and cottonwoods rampantly shedding their fiberous fluff.

I'll be back on track with regular posts soon, and will update all pictures. Maybe even a quick Savannah recap - we finally did meet a farmer! Hilton was his name, and he was there with his wife Robbie, selling their organic vegetables and eggs from the back of his truck at one market, an actual booth at the second. Sales were brisk as they were the only farmers present.

The heat is expected to continue - a little overcast this weekend, but not much cooler. Maybe enough to hold the weeds at bay 'til I can catch up!
