Let's proclaim 2008 as the summer of a Baltimore garden; thank you, rain - July 5, 2008 - It was on an early morning walk this week that I observed the evidence of the cooperating weather we've enjoyed this spring and summer. I was just off Charles Street, in the Homeland neighborhood. Lawns remain emerald green, without any early-July brown patches. I thought it was May in July.
