Well continued excessive heat for over 3 weeks now. Tuesday we had 108 degrees. As the local weather man said, and I quote, "We blew the record of 104 away"! Then I heard same weather man say yesterday that we had a cold front move through. So I went and looked at my thermometer and saw it was only 95 degrees and I realized I guess he was right, that was a 13 degree drop from the day before!
So what does this all mean? Well the green beans and dried beans are pretty much dried up. We do irrigate the green beans, but not the dried beans, but even with water they just won't set fruit when temperatures are around 85 or above. Same with the summer squash and cucumbers. The tomatoes are not doing to bad, but again when the fruit that's already set is ripe there will be a lag before more tomatoes are available because the blooms will have fallen off during this heat. The one thing that loves this heat is the okra. We've been cutting about 15 gallons worth each week!
Yesterday we went to pick up our 3,000 strawberry tips, so now we have to get those potted so they can get a good root system going. Then we have to put them under a misting system that sprinkles every 3 or so minutes for a minute at a time. Should be fun in this heat!
