Where is everyone?-
It rained all day, which meant harvesting with impunity. No wasps, although my back is still wet despite my having worn a raincoat and hat. The big orange spider has moved on. So I went ahead and harvested the kale, which she was blocking access to. Today’s haul: one eggplant, ~20 lon...
