The heat found its way back to Misery yesterday. Mrs. Augie did some mowing while I watered the orchard trees, then I took over that job so she could go inside and work on another batch of lacto-fermented pickles.
My tomato plants resumed blooming when the Africa weather left and managed to set some fruit so I’m hoping for the best there. This 95° stuff will shut them back down for a bit I expect.
The zucchinni and yellow squash all folded up from the heat yesterday afternoon so there’s one less thing to bother with in the garden today. lol Cukes are about done too.
On a brighter note, my sweet corn is ready to harvest. Getting that done is my after work task for today.
Aside from the garlic I’m not planning to put in any fall garden. The time will be better spent finishing the new hoop house, building raised beds, and adding compost to the soil in the new garden, not to mention the fencing and landscaping projects that are waiting to be done.
ugh...

Beau will be home after the 1st for a number of weeks. Hoping we can work on the front porch remodel/repair/upgrades then - after we shed a few more puppies.
I’m just going to do what I can in planters and in the greenhouse - mainly salad greens, as usual. By October, after I’ve finished with the apples, I am more than DONE with the garden. Until the first seed catalogs arrive before Christmas, LOL!
