It has been a rainy, gloomy, HUMID day. The type of humid that sticks to your lungs and skin. The type of humid that isn't just hot, but also makes your limbs heavy and saps the energy from every iota of your being while simultaneously making you feel like you're going to burst into flame...
It was today--of all days--that I decided to work on a few outdoor chores to get them out of the way. I have, once again, been neglecting the garden (I'm good at that) and found that a few plants have reached the end of their season. In the breaks of the rain, I went out and harvested the last of the summer squash, pulled their vines, and replanted Brussel sprouts in their place, picked a load of cucumbers, a few okra, found a couple of hidden melons that are too far into the patch to properly photograph, harvested more tomatoes, and weeded an extra bit.
assorted cucumbers, broccoli head, kohlrabi, okra, assorted summer squash and zucchini
The fruits of the labor are definitely worth it in the end.. especially after a LARGE glass of water.
This are my tomatoes BEFORE adding today's pickings to it.
