A little summer heat is appearing in the Sunshine State.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-12-3...nsland/5179018 The town of Miles QLD hit over 48C (119F). Note this is *not* in the desert, it is on the downs where the industries are cropping and grazing. So close to the summer solstice at that latitude the sun would be overhead at noon. How would your lettuce be holding up? David |

How would your lettuce be holding up? David I had an acquaintance in Las Vegas, Nevada where the temperatures are like that. She grew all sorts of fancy salad greens but only by dint of elaborate shade and wind-blocking structures and an automatic misting system. Far too much work for me -- I grew cacti instead. |
