I would have thought so. We are expecting 91 for the next two days. It's 82 today.
I managed to get my zucchini planted yesterday, as well as some flower pots for the deck. I also weeded and planted the flower garden in front of the deck.
I've charged the camera, so I'll try and get some pictures of my progress to post later or tomorrow.
The strange thing about temperature is that 2 miles east of us (on the Lake) the temps were in the mid sixties yesterday while we were sweltering in the high nineties! That’s just another version of “Lake Effect”.
It’s another hot one today and I propped up a large piece of cardboard to try to shade my lettuce before I left for work. It’ll probably blow over, but it made me feel better to give them a little shade.
My problem is that I’ll be out of town about 3-4 days at the end of the week, and I don’t want everything to cook while I’m gone. I bought a water timer last week and I’m going to set it to turn on an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening. It’s one of those revolving sprinklers that ratchets around and throws the water a long way, so none of the beds get very much water — that’s why the hour.
I’m going over to HOme Depot this afternoon to look for some material to make a hopp house. I found directions on the Web that sounded easy — 10 ft. lengths of flexible tubing jammed into the corners of the planting boxes and screen fabric stretched over and held in place with those big alligator clips from the office. Of course, a puff of wind with probably collapse the whole thing and nobody will be here to fix it.
