Looking back over this month, we are grateful that we haven’t had any triple digit days so far. We’ve definitely seen hotter summers, but still, when that sun is beating down on you as you work in the garden, and every part of you is wet from perspiration, the sweltering heat can have you praying for an occasional cloud to come and block the sun’s rays now and then. Oh for a quick blast of those shivering temperatures that we faced as we planted our first crop of the year back in January – onions, hundreds of onions. We started this month by pulling up the last of that crop from their beds. Onions were quickly replaced with okra, and when that’s ready to come out, the temperatures should be swinging back in the direction of cooler days and cold nights, making us wish for a few of the warming rays of sun we’d like to block right now, or a quick blast of the hot temperatures that are zapping us of our strength by the time the clock hits noon.
