I went out to see my garden at 8:00 p.m. yesterday.
Everything was wilting in the 102 degree heat....still 102 at 8:00 p.m.!
My "Arkansas Traveler" tomatoes are the only ones which have managed to put on a tomato and here they are, wilted and tired!
I did an intense watering with the hose, and knew the cooler temps after dark would help too!
This morning, plants are upright (except for the heavy sunflower heads). I have hope....maybe I will still get some tomatoes or at least some more zinnias! Zinnias are about to bloom....even some soft green ones from seeds given my gardening/quilting friend, Paula!

Wow! That is HOT! We have been getting in the high 80s here...which is hot for the mountains! But I can't complain! I love seeing the baby pics and the beautiful quilts you've been working on! Enjoy your week! Hugs! ♥
Your part of the country has sure been getting a lot of heat this summer....and we've been cooler than usual. I guess you're getting all the heat from us....sorry!
Oh so hot - hope the plants perk up. The babies are so cute!!
