Although I've been using Sundays as a day to review what went on in the garden during the week, the heat has addled my brain and I can't remember much of what I did when I was able to be out there. So instead this post is a tip of the Tula* to Elizabeth Licata (of
Gardening While Intoxicated and
Garden Rant) for her comment on yesterday's post.

*My Tula gardening hat, which does a splendid job of protecting me from the Death Star's fierce glare as I ramble about the garden. By the way, I remember how I spent a significant portion of my time outside this week. I watered. Big whoop.

I need some outdoor umbrellas, but at an affordable price. I saw yours in your pics. Any suggestions as to where to get some? Thanks! And happy gardening! :)
