It's been hot here. Hot, hot, hot. How hot? Gabriel sums it up here:
The lettuces are still being harvested, and the beans in the raised bed have provided fresh veggies at three meals now. The beans in the box on the deck are stunted. They've been watered (with a watering can) in the morning every day, and I've tried to shade them from the sun at least a little to slow the waterloss a bit, but there just isn't any getting around it; that planter dries out fast.
Stella the tomato plant and her friend are doing very well, and have provided tomatoes daily. The oregano has begun flowering and is drawing lots and lots of big, fluffy, yellow bumble bees. I'd go out there and try to take a picture, but it's too hot.
I had the drying out problem until I mulched my pots... Maybe that would help?
ReplyDeleteIt might. Thanks for the tip, Silverwing!
