Gonna be 111 here in S. Utah. I’m going to bed soon so I can work outside early before I start looking like a weenie on the grill!
Figs look good. Grapes are awesome. Lawn is brown (sprinkler problem, maybe). Tomatoes are under shade in my carport, and trying to hang on and ripen. Pineapple guava and bottlebrush are living large in this heat!

Pineapple guava I wonder if it would do well here in Central Mississippi? Do you know what kind of low winter temps it can withstand?

We just humid here....Everything is growing well. Including the weeds.
The peas were as tall As I am this spring. Wild raspberries are almost gone....Now are picking beans, thorn less blackberries, The tomatoes, peppers and summer squash are just coming on, and the lettuce onion etc have been great.
Have a wonderful crop of onions and garlic this year and the winter squash and pumpkins are setting on nicely.
OTOH not a piece of fruit on any of the fruit trees.
The local markets have an abundance of corn and our world famous melons. The local farms have sandy loam, I have southern IN yellow clay...Somethings I just rely on the farmers a couple of miles from the house.
