Brevity snips.

Two of our gardens are still producing. The west garden (squash, peppers,
eggplants and tomatoes) went down to the spider mites. Little is left. The
string beans were harmed by the organic insecticides (Organicide and Need
Oil) and some died. I don't expect the harvest we usually get. But the
collards, chard and tomatoes in the other gardens are looking good. I
watered the earth and planted the beets. I couldn't wait for rain anymore.
We're having the 2nd year of drought here.
