[Magdalen] Summer extension.

[cantor03 at aol.com]

The summer heavy rains and hot, humid weather have been
good most garden plants, but bad for the electric airconditioning
bills.
 
There is still an abundance here in NE Pennsylvania USA of tomato
production, for example.  Usually by this time there is a marked
diminution of production. Not this year.
 
I've never seen the Rose of Sharon shrubs bloom so freely
as this year.  I call them the "poor man's hibiscus," for they
are in the hibiscus genus, and their blossoms, both single
and double; strongly resemble the tropical variety.  They love
heat and humidity.
 
Still 90's F this week.  It's going to break to an autumn
pattern eventually
