Weird Weather

It has been an unseasonably cool August. I am not complaining. If there is one thing I hate with a purple passion it is heat combined with high humidity. I just cannot function under these conditions. We are having a pretty hot day today, but then it's back to the 80s. I say hurrah. It will mean that Ken and I will be able to start building the cage around the hoophouse/garden in the morning.

We measured everything out today and (sort of) planned where everything is supposed to go. I am still not decided between raised beds and simple pig-tilled mounded beds for the summer garden, but I can decide that when I see how well they work. It will be a work in progress until I find something that works for me.

One thing is for sure - I will need to really get down to planting. I haven't got a single thing to can or freeze out of the garden this year. I usually at least have some beans and tomatoes if nothing else.
