More progress! My greenhouse has hit a high of 102 degrees so far this season - with higher temps to come, I’m sure.
I have everything out of there, now. It’s brutal!
For the rest of the summer, I’ll be up early, doing my watering and weeding in the shade, before the sun hits my garden about 11am.
Great tractor! We have a 1954 Allis-Chalmers that still gets the job done. ;)
That was the hottest I’ve seen it in there. Was my fault - I forgot to latch the door open so there wasn’t much air exchange happening. I’ve seen it go past 130° with the door open, which is still crazy hot. Mrs. Augie bought some shade cloth yesterday. I’m hoping that stuff will help to reduce the daytime high temps inside.
The basils that I cut back a couple weeks ago are loving it in there. They have put on a tremendous amount of new growth and are very close to the size they were when I harvested them earlier.
I started another batch a few days later. That stuff germinated within two days, and a week later was big enough to move to grow-out pots. Now that I’ve learned the technique of preserving fresh basil in olive oil I’m going to start growing more of it.
And I probably should label the jars when I put them in the freezer...
