It’s dry by me too, going into the Fall. That ‘rain’ we were supposed to get overnight ended up being BUPKISS!
Just watered a few pots of herbs in the garden, and apologized to the plants in the BIG pots that I’m letting die off so I can re-use their pots for Fall lettuces and spinach.
I do have Chives and Parsley to bring in to dry for Winter use.
I HOPE they understand. ;)
NWS is now giving us a 20% chance of showers & t-storms this evening, but, the amount of rain predicted is 0.02”, so, that’s not much help. Thursday and beyond looks cooler and wetter, and after today (high 96° F), we look to be in the 92-93° range until Thursday, with a bit lower humidity and cooler nights (under 65° F) creeping in by Tuesday, which is definitely better than the string of 96-97° F days forecast last Friday. Hopefully all these green tomatoes on the vines now will either ripen or continue growing.
I do have one large pot freed up — the Cherry Falls tomato plant that puked out. The other 2 Cherry Falls are doing “ok” to “well”, the rest died in all the sogginess in June. (Those are / were all in the ground.)
The Serrano and Cowhorn peppers (they are in pots) I’d moved to “more sun” started looking peeked, so I’ve moved them back to “mostly shade”. Their brothers and sisters I never moved are doing well — in mostly shade. Go figure.
The only things I have in even close to full sun, that are doing well this year, are a couple Cannas*, and grass and weeds.
The Cannas have not flowered yet, though. What the heck? They were put in the ground, with fresh Miracle Grow Garden Soil, early in June. At that point the bulbs had already sprouted a few inches “in the bag” so to speak. Plus I’ve fed them a little Super Phosphate for about a month now.
