July Gardeners

July gardeners are sticky with humidity, perspiration, and Deep Woods Off. Sweat has dripped off our straw hats, bedraggled our hair, and stung our eyes red. 

Never mind that our fingernails are stained green and brown. Camouflage befits soldiers in the War of the Weeds. 

We've never looked (or smelled) worse, but who cares? Flowers have never looked better, beans and tomatoes are setting on, and zucchini harvest is underway!
