It’s 93 and 16% humidity here. But I was out in the shop with a air circulater running, painting a wall. I got pretty hot and clothes soaked. Low humidity; It’s overrated.
Tomaters were a bust for us, 0 tomatos this year from 10 plants. But I don’t yet hate the birds and squirrels, If we had been at home to feed them 2 weeks ago, they would never have tried tomatos and developed a taste for tomato juice. I hope we can keep them alive till fall and maybe get a crop then.
Peppers are doing well, with the banana peppers and jalapenos getting real big. Ther peppers doing good to.
My wife’s flowers all over the yard in beds and containers are having a banner year, especially the sunset lantanas. They are about 4ft tall and about 10-12ft long in a large bed with only 4 plants. They are really putting on a show, along with the butterflies visiting them.
Tomato season is over?!? You must be growing determinates. What variety? I’ve only grown heirloom indeterminates so the heat usually stops fruit production before they get mature enough to start fruiting. I’m thinking of going with some determinates just to get any to the table.
Pulled some weeds out of one of the beds that had nothing planted in in and dug some compost out of the bin to work it in to the bed first. Going to plant some warm weather stuff.
Had to quit before I finished watering. Back, feet, and knees were killing me, but the heat was the final straw. I just can't take the heat. Will cool off and go back later.
I'm cooking a ham and some more bread after that. Will slice up the ham and freeze the slices for use later, and use the bone for ham and beans this weekend.

We went through a whole year, where the only thing that she would eat for lunch was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. So I think she burned out on that.
