Oh, Tiffany, I wish! It is slightly cooler than your area, today was 88, yesterday was 92, so July and August are quite hot here. It is not unusual to be over 100. And of course, we have had over the top heat waves lately.
These plants did get started in spring with all the rain, and just never gave up. Some in the sunnier areas have died back, but I just found some in the forest today that is green and still growing. So I guess I cannot get away from the little monsters. Another job on my to-do list now, pulling weeds in the forest.
