Thanks for that information, Karen.
It got up to 106 here today, with not much relief in sight, unless you consider 102 tomorrow to be a cooling trend.
I'm so thankful for my drip irrigation set up on my containers....but we're keeping busy trying to keep the trees and shrubs watered. It worries me when I see well-rooted shrubs with droopy leaves. We just keep a drip hose going and moving it from place to place. I would hate to lose any well-established trees or shrubs.
They are saying if we dont get several inches of rain in the next several days, the corn/soybean crops will be a total failure in Indiana. We already lost most of our apple crop due to the early warming and late freeze. I fear produce is going to become very expensive.
