...and water...

maize leaves were curling lengthwise when i got tot he garden today...july has been a different animal than june was...it's past mid month and we've only had 3.12 inches of rain ( in my back yard anyway ) compared to the 12+ last month...and it has warmed up a bit the past few days...so i got the hose out and gave the garden a going over across the back and up to the corner beds making sure everybody got an abundant share to tide them over for a few days...even though it wanted water the maize Cynthia and i planted is looking hearty and seems on the verge of producing ( but not until next month )...the season rolls along.
