  • Tips on how to provide shade from the blazing sun

    I can’t believe this heat already. I was hopeful that this summer was not going to be a repeat of last, but it looks like we are on track for some serious heat this summer.  
    Some vegetables will surely respond to temperatures in the 90’s … some will be good and some will be bad. I know we can’t change the ambient air temperature on a 90 degree day, but we can provide some shade for our plants on the hottest days of the summer with reasonable results.

  • Miracles happen

    Joan Chipkar is one of those people I can’t say no to.
    In 2004, after Florida was hit by hurricanes, she convinced me to go with her to do laundry for health department staff working in the hardest hit area.
    Last year, when her beloved therapy dog Charlie died, I wrote an obituary column about the brown and white cocker spaniel.
