The Burst of Summer

Adjective Respected and impressive: "she was in august company". Synonyms stately - grand - majestic - lofty - sublime

Traditional Cucumbers: Greenfinger & Marketmore.  I had a wild day when we planted these 
and kind of left my mind in the sky, so we planted many, many...many cucumbers.  
They are delicious. Good work cucumbers for holding your ground.

Glass Greenhouse: Giallo d'Asti, Trinidad, Aji Dulce & Shishito Peppers

Beans.

Calendula flowers, Flowering Cilantro and Paul spraying down some beets.  

Anise Hyssop, Dill and Green Coriander
This is love.

It would not be August without the mention and visual of a hornworm.  An enormous hornworm.  Our ashwagandha plants have had a tough year with pests.  A challenging season means more chemical constituents, so our medicine this year will be potent.  Watch out! 

                              

Refuge.

In summer

I close my eyes often

Taking in my breath

and releasing.

So still. 

And then 

I go back again.
