Triffids! What a blast from the past. I'll have to watch out for them. Anything could be lurking in the woods behind my house.

It's really hard to grow anything if the weather is so extreme. The weather here has been brutal all summer and its a marked difference from our mostly moderate summer temperatures of the past. Its unusual heat for long periods of time with little relief until now, in late August. I hope this isn't the beginning of a new cycle of summers like that. I also hope our government has nothing to do with it.
