RE: Extreme Heat!

Hang in there! A little sprinkler shower in the worst of the heat will perk
up plants that are wilting, but too much water isn't good either.
We are actually below norms right now, it is only 85. But very windy, it's
more like May than it was when we were in May.

Well it's a lovely 106 degrees right now and no end in site. It's supposed
to be equally hot the rest of the week. My plants are hanging in there,
although I know I can forget about any of the buds getting pollinated until
the heat goes down. A branch on one of my tomato plants split, even tho it
was staked firmly and caged.. It looks like it got hit by lighting actually.
Of course it was the branch with the most toms on it, but since it was still
attached to the plant I taped it up with plant tape and used garden velcro
to tie it to the cage and it seems fine..no wilting! My flowers are getting
cooked..my mini petunia's about given up...the impatients are loving it
though, and my rose bush has recovered very nicely!
