Grace, your comment about the trellis across America reminded me of the 1980s hands across America where all the people lined up and held hands at the same time. A feat they pulled off quite well as a matter of fact. Ha! I could go on and on about REAL sustainable agriculture,( as I have with Organic inspectors before) but youre lucky my soap box broke last night when I was using it and stamping my feet for emphasis. Ha! But I just wanted to say if the sun gets too hot one can put a cloth (shade) over the trellis for the hottest parts of the day, and it helps with moisture loss.I managed to have a garden here in 1988 when every day was 103 degrees and no rain. Perseverance!

Oh Grace – these remind me of a wonderful huge cocoon made out of grape vine cuttings that an artist friend made. I had it hanging in my garden at the time. Hope all is well with you. Gilly

Armenian cukes-we had some of thoseuntil the heat burned all of the garden. Like a slow, daily forest fire.Your cucumber looms are wonderful. This is the time of year to gather those still-bendable limbs. Youve inspired me to go for a walk along the forestedge.
