July Wrap Up

I heard a news report last night that said Kansas City had its third coldest July on record—in 115 years. We’ve spent a majority of the month outside, which isn’t something you can normally—or at least comfortably—do in Kansas this time of year. I hope the same holds true for August.

Our little garden is doing well as a result. The bugs made short work of our brussel sprouts, and the broccoli doesn’t look much like broccoli at all, but the cucumbers are going crazy. And, we had our first real harvest of tomatoes last week.

I’m planning to spend tomorrow taming the basil and making a few batches of pesto.
