Upper 80's and clear

Beautiful, clear, hot sun today. Gave everyone a morning drench and rinse. We get a lot of salt in the air being so close to the ocean. Need to shower all to clean of briny residue. It seems to work. It's been dry for the past 2 weeks, so I've had to use the hose- which i love doing.

Looking for cheap copies of V. Sackville-West's gardening books:
  • Some Flowers
  • Country Notes
  • Country Notes in Wartime
  • In Your Garden
  • In Your Garden Again
  • More for your Garden
  • Even more for your Garden
  • A Joy of Gardening
  • V. Sackville-West's Garden Book
  • Midcote Manor Garden
  • The Illustrated Garden Book
I hadn't known she had written so many. In Your Garden is wonderful. It gently directs readers as to when to plant and sources for seed. Very interesting to read about the old vendors.
