It is still hot here in the Carondelet Garden and it looks like the heat is going to stick around through most of the week but the weekend looks lovely and we might even see a shower or two on Saturday!  Today we should see a mix of sun and clouds.  A very small chance of rain this afternoon.  Highs in the mid 90s with winds out of the ENE at 5 to 10 MPH.  

The Veggies are busting out all over.  We are getting a second wave of Patio Eggplant, and they are simply delicious.  The Peppers have been a miracle.  We've never had so many and they keep coming.  The Winter Squash, Spinach and Lettuce are coming along as well.  We are also trying for a second round of Snow Peas.  The first round were a huge disappointment.  Things are looking good this time around.  We are very excited about the Raspberries.  They are simply bursting with fruit this year.  Can't wait for Raspberry Preserves!

The Garden has given us such solace these past few days.  A needed sanctuary from the noise and anger and chaos all around us.  Take a moment to find some solace this week.  Turn down the noise.  Escape for a moment and recharge.  Pray.  Meditate.  Relax. Do whatever you need to keep going.  Be good to yourself and kind to others, especially right now.  That's all the news from here in the Carondelet Garden.
