Heat

[ksmith]

At noon today, the thermometer by my backdoor read 102F. I think that may have been a couple of degrees high–the thermometer is located a little high up the wall, only a foot and a half or so below the soffit. A good place for warmer air to get trapped.

So, it may have only been 99F or so. Balmy.

I prepared for the onslaught yesterday evening by giving all the flowers and veggies a deep watering. I also moved the deck pot tomatoes to the upper level of the deck so they could be protected by the shade of the overhanging sand cherry. I think they’re going to need to stay there for a while, because temps in the 90s/100F are predicted into next week.

We usually have to wait until August to have as many 90+F degree days as we’ve had already this year.

I'll skip to the chase...just go ahead and hate me!

::sigh::

I don't actually mind heat, but this is too soon in the year for 100+F.

Today was better. High 80s, with cloud cover. Light rain falling now. Doesn't look like we'll get a lot, but anything is welcome at this point.

And three of my tomato plants have marble-size fruit. So, happy.

Our weather weirdness this year has been lots of cloud and rain through the spring. When/if it does get hot, ain't a one of us is going to be adapted to it.

March was like June. April was like March. May was Mayish, with a touch of April. June is July/August. I confess concern as to what July holds.

Yes, I'd be nervous too.
