summer of extraordinary clouds

This summer has been one of extraordinary clouds. it has also been one of drought in our area with more record breaking global temps, July being the 15th consecutive warmest month on record. Jupiter is enjoying the view with us, no worries for him.

This horned guy can really put down the tomatoes; thankfully he seems to work alone. It seems we’re going to have a decent crop of edamame (Black Pearl) and potatoes despite the lack of rain. The Purple Viking are nice and large, we hope to grow more of those next year. The beautiful mottled deep purple skin offers some welcome added phytonutrients. I know the Santini are very popular, but the Purple Vikings out produced them and are just as yummy.
