In the early spring, I envy those of you in warm climates who have blooms while I have dormant twigs. Not this time of year. It is in the upper 80s/lower 90s here and too hot for me! I am sure that humidity plays a part in the misery, but I wouldn't want it any hotter than this! Last year was very cool and wet, this year hot and dry....not sure what to expect. I haven't been gardening long enough to have a feel for what is "normal" here.
I have hit rock on the few holes that I have left to dig. I get outside at dawn and come in when it starts getting hot, about 9am! I filled the holes with water this morning and still have puddles.
