Ida’s
Notebook
by
Ida Risser
Some summers are dry but so
far this year we have had plenty of
rain. In fact, we’ve had so much
that my garden vegetables are
much larger than usual.
I’ve given away a dozen large
beads of cabbage. The bean stalks
are enormous and toppled out of
their rows. The one item that is
really too prolific is the roly-poly
zucchini that I got from Burpee.
I’ve given away these round green
and white squash and still have too
many for myself.
The damp soil is good for start
ing a new row of strawberries and
the sweet potato plants are grow
ing fine. Even the edible soybean
plants are quite big compared to
last year when a groundhog kept
nibbling them down to the ground.

my husband and I decided to
spend two days at our camper on
lack’s Mountain. We took the
boat out on the nearby lake and
fished all afternoon in an off and
on drizzle. Actually, we did not
get very wet as we had taken jack
ets along with us. Later, Allen
slept on the life preservers while I
caught seven pan fish. We had the
large lake to ourselves until even
ing. That night it really rained and
it sounded like rain on a tin roof as
I remember from my youth. So,
we packed up and came home ear
lier than planned.
Some hay in the meadow beside
our house has been laying too long
due to the weather. There is alfalfa
to be put in the silo too but we
need better weather. When it is
dry we complain and when it is
too wet we don’t like that either.
