I replied to your email, but thought I'd post too. Count me in! Looking forward to it.

(I've started looking through things and I have at least least 12 things to share so far, and maybe more by the send date.)

Sorry I haven't replied to the email yet. For some reason, I thought the deadline was June 21, so I was thinking I was too late. I'll need to check my stash and see if I have anything weird, odd, or unusual enough to participate.

Hey Deb, did you get any hail over your way? My plot at the community garden got hit pretty hard, but only minor damage to the garden here at the house. The plants that escaped the hail actually look really good today. It always amazes me how much better the plants look after a rain. All the irrigation in the world doesn't make them as happy as a good rain.

Hi Bonnie -

My community garden plot got nailed BIG time, but because I have neglected the plot, not all seeds had sprouted!! So now it looks pretty good;) My home tomato garden was a bit more protected but all the blossoms were beaten off. My home pepper patch was about destroyed. The rabbits are lying in wait for the peppers to recover...

I agree about the rain vs irrigation water. My tomatoes have perked up after all this rain.

We are up to five participants:

booberry (Becky)
neohippie (Amanda)
kilngod (Tina)
mystlw (Terry)
austinnhanasmom (Deb)
