Reliable moderate rainfall maintains great conditions for gardens. 1st planting of sweet corn knee high. A few green tomatoes on outdoor plants. Native grasses in hay meadows have matured and browned. Columbia brome and timothy would still make good hay. More milkweed flowering than I have seen before. Few Monarchs and no monarch larvae or herbivory on plants. Visitors to Lake Michigan beach continue to increase as water temp now in mid-60's. Seeing plenty of fawns, but not many twins.
