July…hot, hot July
We usually get to 100 degrees in July. After a mild spring with plenty of rain, I am spoiled. Rain makes me feel like a master gardener. lol. Everything grows and nothing dies…Then July comes and we hit triple digits and no rain for weeks. The goal in July is not a beautiful garden. In July the goal is just to keep everything alive. Water is precious and so we only water when we have to and try to conserve as much as possible.
The good news is there is still lots to do in July. A few weeks ago, I harvested some mint. I tied it in a bundle and hung it to dry. Today I refilled my mint spice jar. There is something satisfying about eating what you grow.
