“....things like cukes, zucchini and tomatoes don’t do very well with producing veggies when it’s very hot.”
That very well could be but we do have pretty hot weather every summer but just not this long of time.
I am thinking even though I had SOME bees (not like in the past) on my Lavender, I never saw any around my tomato flowers etc to pollenate them. But do they have to be pollenated that I don’t know and I am to tired to look it up now. :-)
Bye the way I like the info you looked up on “Pipe down”
“Tomatoes and other edible plants are self-pollinating because the flowers have both male and female reproductive parts. One tomato plant can easily produce on its own, without you having to plant another. However, poor pollination may occur due to high temperatures and too much humidity.”
Is it still unseasonably hot?
