Since our heat index is only 104 this afternoon, I’ll get out and prune our rose bushes.
The heat has really gotten to our plants this summer. With heat indices of 133+ for about 2 weeks now, it doesn’t matter that the plants get water on a daily schedule. The leaves are actually burning up. :0(
I’m really amazed that anything is still going. I’m doing everything I can to help the poor plants, but the only thing that will REALLY help is cooler weather. That should happen in about a month.
I checked with our local Co-op about when they would be getting fall plants. It made me laugh when all of them put their hands up in the air in a helpless gesture and told me that my guess was as good as theirs. The suppliers simply ‘showed up’ and delivered the plants on their own schedule. They didn’t even get a heads up. The truck just pulled into the driveway and they had plants.
Now that we have the three raised beds on the south side of the garden ready, I can simply relax and enjoy not having so much to do, waiting for the new plants to arrive.
