I forgot to tell you I would be out of town for the last two weeks. My little sister got married! Congratulations to Kristen and her new husband Kevin!
It was ridiculously hot in southern California while we were there. Over 100 degrees for most of the trip. Tom tells me that it was hot at home the whole time I was gone, but when we got home Sonoma’s cool ocean breezes were here to greet me.
My garden grew by leaps and bounds while I was gone thanks to the heat wave. The beans tripled in size and the tomatoes doubled. Plus the first blackberries ripened and the Gravenstein Apple’s are almost ready!
Shoots and Roots 
Love your blackberry pic (garden10) especially!
