June 8



Spent the day in the garden. I hadn't even visited since May 23, over two weeks ago. Very unusual. This time coincided with the week before and after the launch of Roofscape when I was flat out busy in the office and needed a constant WiFi connection, which the garden lacks. Happy to be back.

While I was gone the garden exploded. We've had light but regular rainfalls and everything was thriving. All the greens - kale, collards, chard and mustard - are ready for harvesting. Tomatoes are setting.

High- 91°. Low- 38°. 1:00- 70°. Wind- west, 5-7 mph. Sky- sunny, high thin clouds. The high/low represents 5/23 to 6/8.

The entrance is through a gate at the lower left by the willows. The entire garden is fenced in and oriented with the corners, each containing a patio, aligned along the cardinal compass points.
