OK so Summer is officially here and we felt it with the unseasonably high temperatures and high humidity during the month of June. IT HAS BEEN HOT! Right now we get about 9 1/2 hours of sunlight per day and although the days begin to shorten we will continue to see temperatures rise right through August. Now come the fun months when we can see the fruit of our hard work; Hostas are in their prime; lavenders are in full bloom, and I am picking lettuce daily from my garden and watching other vegetables blossom and begin to set their fruit… Oh the joys of summer!
