heat
What a difference a week can make. Last weekend the weather was so cool and mild; today it was hitting the triple digits. The forecast is for it to be a little cooler over the weekend though.
The heat is beginning to make itself felt in the garden. The cilantro has been flowering all week and this afternoon I saw that it was beginning to go to seed. When it flowers it looks a lot like Queen Anne's Lace. Cilantro is one of my favorite tastes. It always seems such a pity that it is already gone by the time the peppers and tomatoes are ready to make salsa.
We've picked a few peppers already and there are more coming along. There are tomatoes too but they are all still green. We had some more potatoes from the garden last night and we've been eating carrots too.
Of course the oregano stays green all year but I noticed this afternoon how tall and healthy it looked. Time for some spaghetti.
