Cooling off

As if to answer yesterday's whiny post regarding hot weather, today is predicted to be 20 degrees cooler and with a little rain last night the latest changes should prove to be restorative to the garden.  More precipitation is predicted for next week, but as with most of the weather this season it will probably be too little and too late.   This is the toughest stretch in the gardening season as we simultaneously try to keep up with weeds, watering, insects, harvest and planting.  The planting part is actually ending now.  I put the last lettuce transplants in last night and need only make one or two more spinach plantings and I will be done with that aspect.  The weeds however continue to bedevil me.   Perhaps I'll be able to catch up this weekend.
