Plantings: Beautiful spouse planted a husky cherry red tomato plant in the herb garden to replace one that was killed by a freeze. She also planted some new marigolds in the herb garden. (See the detailed list of plantings – click here)

Harvest: Nothing to report

South 40 Cleanup: Nothing to report

Daily Highlight: Although it was dry here, I had to commute to Maryland. I encountered rain both going and returning. Believe me – there are many things in life more enjoyable than driving the D.C. beltway in the dark with rain coming down.
