Sally: In the garden. The vegetable patch is coming along wonderfully. The tomatoes are having a wonderful season so far and promise an abundant crop. Check back next month for a nutritious and delicious recipe to utilize our tomatoes. My daughter Maggie constructed a sturdy “green bean teepee” from bamboo canes and seeds — both from the Dollar Store, proving growing your own produce does not need to be costly. For less than $2, we shall soon be harvesting fresh, organic green beans. Kern River rafting. For the adventurous, why not try something fun and exciting and stay cool, too? Check out the wide variety of trips offered by Kern River Tours, 1-800-844RAFT (7238). Family days are Tuesdays and Wednesdays when children receive a 25 percent discount with an adult paying full fare. Pack a picnic and sunscreen and head up the canyon for something different.
