Good morning Ladies!

Apart from watering and depending on where you are located the standard Black nursery pots they become very hot when in the sun, as high as 135 F, which is hard on roots.

This is not as much of a problem in Northern Tier states like WI. If possible its not a bad idea to put the pots someplace shady during mid-day.

Now heading off to turn on the soaker hoses in the garden before it becomes too warm! (The squash/pumpkin vines are total drama queens and look like they are dying in even sunny warm weather, but they will definitely need it with today's coming heat!)

Supper tonight is leftover chicken and/or leftover pork roast, so I am making this summertime favorite to go along with, since I already have everything needed on hand. I only have yellow summer squash right now, so I'm going to thrown in some green beans too for color balance. I'll reduce the amount of shredded carrots to 1/2 cup.
