Early July 2012 heat wave!



Another few days of one hundred degree plus days to go, That’s according to the National Weather Service that is calling for a cool front to invade the mid west sometime during the weekend of July the 7th.  This chart shows the trend over the past week or so:


 Outside, just about every living plant or tree is now showing signs if both heat stress combined with a lack of adequate moisture. Rainfall, across this region has been all but non existent. Lawns everywhere have gone dormant and even local gardens that are being watered on a regular basis are looking sickly. Currently to only survivors in my raised beds have been a few tomatoes and peppers. Everything else is pretty much gone!
