The combination of days of sun and 0.8 inch of rain this week kept the garden soil moist enough to not need watering. After last night's 0.32 inch of rain a small amount of water is standing in low places. One spring is half-ful and one creek is flowing fairly well.

The blueberries and wineberries are about finished for the year. The triple crown thornless blackberries are abundant. The garden is producing healthy greens, squash, tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers.

The deer are coming out into the open with small fawns. The birds are numerous and thankfully catching lots of flies.
