The market was brimming with all of the veg and flowers that signal summer. Tomatoes finally taste like a summer tomato, the beans are thin and delicious. Our garden has produced so many beets we can't eat them fast enough. The onions and shallots are ready to harvest. It is very hot and there has been no rain for weeks, so the seeds we planted to take us through to the fall have not yet germinated despite the fact that we water regularly. We are very lucky to have a well. RXC fitted it out with a pump so we just have to turn it on and get water that is off the meter and therefore we can use as much as we want. However, even the water level in the well is lowering. With this dry heat, the grapes are very happy and thriving. If summer continues like this, the wine should be excellent this year.
