Here's about the most exciting thing going on with my mamms. I have one just producing fruit like crazy. I've been picking it almost daily and just tossing it into salads or enjoying it 'au natural' as a refreshing sweet-tart pick me up whenever I am outside. Shrug! Hilarious!

We got a magnificent rain storm last evening punctuated with lightning and thunder. Hurray! Things look much better, plump and green and rejuvenated. The weather is also cooling down and temps are steadily lowering.

We will be edging steadily downwards from the 108-104 F range this week to the 104-99F range next week. Humidity is off the charts here by AZ standards ( to clarify) in the 30-40% range and there is a 10-30% chance of rain ever present for the next 10 days.

While I am not appreciating the humidity I am always ever hopeful for the rain as we can use it and need more. The plants are enjoying it though so that's what is important. Our monsoon this year has been dubbed the 'nonsoon' due to the pitiful absence/lack of moisture and rain. Rolling my eyes.
To boldly grow where no man has lawn before.
