Considering I've had a grand total of 3 inches of rain the past 3 months, I've been watering my garden more than I ever have. Combine no rain at all in the past 2 weeks with 10 straight days of 100 degree temps, and I'm already starting to lose my squash plants. Cucumbers look terrible, but the zucchini still looks great.
I've already picked purple hulled peas, usually get a second or third crop out of them, but the heat/ dry conditions have them looking really bad despite my watering.
Tomatoes are still faring pretty well despite the heat. I picked 40 or so Sun afternoon and another 20 today... many between baseball and softball sized.
Corn is also in, roasted several ears Sunday afternoon and I'm gonna pick heavy tomorrow and put some up.
We've had a decent breeze with the high temps, which has kept my chickens happy... got 15 eggs yesterday despite them walking around panting with their wings held out to dissipate heat. Unfortunately the breeze has dried out the ground even faster.
I'm actually starting to worry about losing some smaller trees such as dogwoods, etc if we don't get some serious rain the rest of this month.
