I walked the dogs at 10:30 and it was already miserable. 103 today and humid. We do not normally have humid. I didn\'t make my bed today and it just didn\'t get done.

I am cooking scallops tonight for my dinner and some wilted spinach. I have never cooked scallops so got cooking instruction from granddaughter and another friend that are good cooks.

My garden helper comes tomorrow. Hope it is going to be cloudy. Vern\'s son is coming over tomorrow for the first time since quarantine except to pick up his groceries. I would get his groceries and leave them by the door to the garage. My daughter did the shopping. I just didn\'t want him to get sick because I would have not been able to take care of him. I told him yesterday he would need to start buying his own groceries. My checkbook was empty.

I toured my garden last night with a flashlight around 10. Found enough large fat snails to feed my fish a gourmet meal. I have one plant that is an ornamental egg plant with a beautiful bloom. Well the snails love it. One portion is totally stripped and last night I found 3 snails on the other side.

Susan, it takes forever to get a garden going. Most important thing is your soil. Good job on getting free plants.

Pat, that is one big, beautiful rose bush. Roses are hard to transplant.

I had a neighbor stop by yesterday, with two small daughter, to pick some figs. I also gave them a big bunch of lettuce. Planted a mixed seed pack and it has outdone itself. Lettuce will soon bolt. I have a lot of turnip greens but I have not checked the size of the turnips. One time when I was in California i purchased what I thought were round white radishes. Got back to the condo and cleaned a few and to my surprise, they were baby turnips. My tomatoes are getting ripe.
