Summer wears on

From begging for sunshine to dragging hoses hither and yon.  It only  takes a week of dry weather in July to dry out the top several inches of soil.  So getting transplants to take and new seedings to germinate requires repeated watering.  As the season progresses, making seedings and transplanting on time becomes more and more important, as the days are getting shorter and growth slows down.  I have stopped seeding most of the cole crops.  Only kohlrabi, kale, bok choy and nappa cabbage are on the list.  I transplanted a large bed of cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli over the weekend and there will be more to do when space becomes available.  Ah, the joys of summer.
