Yep, super duper hot again. Trying to get things done by 11am and then stuck in the house except for brief forays out to make sure the animals are fed and have plenty of water and the garden watering stays on proper rotation. Towards 7 or 8 pm the temp has dropped back into the nineties and going out for a bit is doable.
Looks like it is going to be a long summer.
Everyone's veggie gardens took a big hit this spring and ours was no exception. I did get three young crooknecks off one of the two summer squash plants that are growing pretty good. I also seem to have tomatoes coming on. I need to put some calcium on them as I usually have problems with the fruits if I don't.
Some of the beans are trying hard.
The corn is tasseling and it is only 18" tall at best.
Some of the melons are starting to get going but it doesn't look good over in that section of the garden.
The miniature horse looks okay but he was panting a bit when we went out to feed him. I have been making sure the animals have fresh cool water twice a day. I am concerned that we are being threatened with even hotter weather like 111 degrees. That might be a bit much for the goats and the horse. Let's hope the weather forecast is wrong as usual and that it is actually cooler than that next week.
