I was wondering why my vegetable plants yielded many blooms, but not much food. I learned this is because the blooms aren’t pollinated. Therefore, by fostering an environment that is beneficial to pollinators, we can yield more food. Pollinators don’t like hot weather, so we can place shade cloth over our vegetable plants to shield them from the heat. It also helps to provide food and water sources for local pollinators, especially native plants that will attract these pollinators to your garden. Lastly, steer clear of chemical-laden pesticides, which keeps pollinators away.
The joke of the day just messaged us that it will be here any moment now. It’s called “Cool Dudes.”

“You too, dude!”
“You know we should get together and hang out sometime.”
“Hanging out is ALL we do, man.”
