to the drought some things had to be replanted and won’t be so plentiful this week (lettuce, arugula, even beets).  But to balance it out, they are starting to get more of the fruits of summer – beans, peppers,...

I noticed a few days ago that my local diner no longer plunks glasses of tap water down on the table along with menus, but will serve it if asked (a sign on the door says as much). Using a drought situation to hawk a $3 bottled...

And I read a headline just this morning that the Australian wheat crop is threatened by drought.

. But be aware that it is getting to be late in the season for Naples-area citrus, and the drought has taken a toll. The fruit of some varieties starts to dry out on the trees at about this time. However, the fruit from further...

:30. If it stops droughting out there for a couple days, and we get some real sun this week (which, frankly, I doubt), the outlook should be better for next weekend. For those still in the dark, the Hood Strawberry is possibly the...
