Good morning everyone. Right now it is cloudy with a possibility of rain. We had thunderstorms from last evening through last night. The weather report last night said we only got a bit less than .2 inches or rain. I think we got more. Half way through the cloudburst we saw about half and inch on our patio. A report this morning said that parts of Chicago got 6 inches in 2 hours. Yikes!!!

I won't have to water this morning. Might have to this afternoon if we get sun and the temperature goes into the low 90s as is predicted. But I did clean out the acorn squash and I think the ground cherry and tomatoes will be happier without the competition. Acorn squash are now on my do not plant again list. They just don't do well in a small container set up like mine. Besides, we don't want to eat it all that often and they are plentiful at our farmers' markets.
