Between the heat (heat index has been anywhere from 102-125 the last
couple of weeks) and the lack of rain, the veggie garden is gone - despite
all my sprinkler system watering every day (early morning & again late
evening)

Ours is also gone due to severe drought conditions and heat in the low 100s
for 3 weeks. The only things left are a few peppers we had in large pots.
We kept them well watered. Everything else is beyond help. Our trees and
shrubs are also dying. They're turning yellow and dropping their leaves.
I've never seen anything like this before.


The only thing still hanging around are the crowder peas. But they are
going downhill fast.

The various tomatoes & peppers are planted in my flower bed among the
roses, glads, hostas, & lilies. Thankfully, all of those are thriving! for
now anyways.....

Mine are already gone. We have too many things to water. Now there is
talk about restricting water use.

Put up some stewed tomatoes in the freezer the day before yesterday.
Surprisingly, I had 23 all ripen at the same time, and what's even more
surprising is that they escaped my frying pan!

I got only 10 qts this summer.
