As we approach the first of August, the baseball and gardening seasons are both past their midway points. In both cases, I have been pleasantly surprised. The Yankees have the best record in baseball and look to win their division for the first time in several years. Tweaking the lineup with a star pitcher and perhaps acquiring a better hitting outfielder than Joey Gallo would seem to be the only things necessary to ensure a trip to the World Series.
Likewise, the garden here at Casa Monzeglio has been a pretty good work in progress. The garlic harvest is in and despite receiving 6 hours of sun or less, I was surprised at how good it is. I have always been advised that most vegetables require full sun from dawn to dusk. But it seems vegetables are a lot like people. They make the best of what they get. The fall crops of greens and lettuces are going in over the next few weeks and the tomatoes and peppers are looking good. My gardens won't win any prizes, but will keep me and the Divine Mrs. M busy in the kitchen this fall!
