Been having to water my garden, but the poor little garden was just really hot soooooooooo being the good momma I am I got out all of my umbrellas (two patio and two beach) and put one in each corner and made the garden a shade..and it is looking so much happier...I was afraid my fall garden was going to burn up but I think it may make it..just gotta keep watering it...
I have green beans up and actually have baby beans, have corn up and okra and zukes...pepper plants are still alive and have a bell on of them...but my other pepper plant hasnt done much..
I am ready for fall.........so ready for fall so I can plant my new blueberry bushes and prepare my new raised bed for next year (I am doubling the size of my raised bed...ohhh and I am going to prepare a herb bed too...just ready for fall and cooler temps..

A friend here just emailed me that I would think she was nuts but she had put an umbrella over a couple of her plants that were getting too much sun. So I sent her your blog to let her know she had company in trying to care for the garden in this heat. Linda B from SC |

I'm just so waiting for the end of this week when we're supposed to drop to the high 90s ... and I can't believe I just said that high 90s is a good thing lol. I've lived here for just over 2 years now and I don't think I'll ever get used to this inferno called summer |

I know it gets boring talking about the weather. But this second week has gotten to me. Was in and out a bit yesterday and I think I dropped 40 gallons of sweat off my body. Forget doing anything in the yard. UGH! |
