*Garden pic from yesterday: peppers in the foreground, then The Verdant Pathway, then watermelons (next to trellis), brussels sprout, tomatoes to the right, grapes further back. This is about 40% of my garden.*

Garden Stuff

Whatta hard year to garden. The Spring was hot, then cool, then hot again . . . and always windy. And now this heat. It's been tough, very tough, but I'm sticking it out and waiting to rake in that $28 worth of vegetables. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* Actually, I've probably raked in over $30 worth so far: $1 worth of cherry tomatoes, $10 of blackberries and currants, $3 of cucumbers, $20 of greens (spinach, kale, chard), $2 of beans and peas. And the big part of the year--tomatoes, peppers, and grapes--hasn't started yet. If things go well, I should harvest well over $200 worth, which would work out to about 75 cents an hour for the effort. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* Thanks to input from a TDE reader, I'm quickly becoming a fan of Johnny Seeds. [Go here](http://www.johnnyseeds.com/t-InteractiveTools.aspx?source=GrowersLibrary) for some nifty gardening software and spreadsheets. I'm planning my Fall garden. The Fall-planting calculator has come in handy.

Miscellany

Tired of the hand-holding during the Our Father? [You're not the only one](http://stlouiscatholic.blogspot.com/2008/11/our-father-and-posture-orans-you-glad.html?m=1&ref=thedailyeudemon.com). It might even border on illegitimacy, like breaking into an aisle jig during a hymn. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* [The Sandusky, Ohio history blog](http://sanduskyhistory.blogspot.com/2012/06/program-announcement-saloons-in-early.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com) recently summed up the reasons why the traditional saloon did more to help this country than any government program: "The neighborhood tavern was often a center of social life for men (rarely women) in Sandusky, particularly before the Prohibition era. It was a place to meet friends, make business contacts (or even conduct business), listen to music, or sing along with others, or just serve as a respite from the drudgery of work." \* \* \* \* \* \* \* Things that build society, good. Things that kill society, bad. Beer: Good. State: Bad. Repeat three times, then go to your neighbor's and share a quart. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* Did I mention that Scott Hahn is coming to my parish? July 21, 10:00-3:00, three lectures, $10\. If you want tickets, let me know (ejscheske@yahoo.com).
