Hi SW Gardeners! I just wanted to pop in and encourage all of you during this heat wave we are having.... It's our first 3-digit stent this year and I doubt it'll be letting up anytime soon. I've made the mistake of getting out too late in the morning and paid the price - having my energy drained. So, try to get out early, early for your morning chores! It won't last forever, so hang in there!!
I pulled my shade screen a few days back to protect my veggies, but with today's high at 107, I took it to the next level and covered the watermelon as well. My corn is not doing well this year....
I think it was too cool this spring. I expected a harvest on Memorial Day, and here I am at Fathers Day and just now getting ears.... Not looking promising. Oh, well, at least I'll have some harvest decorations for the kiddos this October....
Stay cool and healthy!! Happy Summer!?
