Summer. Warm sunny days have turned into hot bright days; with temperatures reaching 106F. The plants growing for the Gardens Across America Project do not seemed to be bother. In fact, the Abigail’s Coffee okra is loving the heat! Along with the Xiyuan Sweet watermelon, powder star pole bean, and kirlangic melon, they all seem to be doing quite well.

The pole bean is starting to form and the seed saving effort is getting into full swing. Next up look to be the melons.
