I think this shot says it all. At least the potatoes are running amok too, and seemingly outcompeting the weeds, if that's possible? Not that I'm complaining about that, being a great fan of potatoes. Even better, I inherited these freebies - which is also why they're popping up unexpectedly in beds I'd thought I'd cleared...oh well. I guess I'll make other plans for that bed...that include potatoes.
Still, it was quite a jungle, and I need to get in there again - I had to sound the retreat sooner than I'd prefer, because the mosquitoes were simply out in force, dive-bombing me and doing a spectacular job of it.
At least I could splash some cold water on me - it had cooled down significantly from daytime, but was still muggy and warm. Back tomorrow!

weeds have taken over; or mea culpa, mea maxima culpa

Aren't the weeds incredible! I've never seen weeds grow sooo fast. They come out of nowhere. My potatoes are growing fast too. And on top of that its too hot to garden. Maybe tomorrow will be better!
Thanks Kathy, you encourage me. Isn't it kinda brutal? I'm not normally put off by the heat, but this hit so suddenly I can't acclimate properly. Eccch. Still, hopefully I'll manage to get out there early tomorrow and do a little. Coooffeeeeeeeee..... I may be ... no, will, be pretty non-verbal at that hour, so if we see one another, my apologies if I'm a little dense.
It happens so fast, doesn't it? Every winter I forget just how fast everything grows, how hot it gets, how fast the dirt dries out, how heavy the rain can be. Every summer is a surprise.
I am, as the British say, "gobsmacked." But at least there's good eating coming out of the garden already, hope for more (potatoes, onions, herbs - mojitos!!) and cooler weather on its way so I can plant the next optimistic succession of seeds...crossing my fingers...
