yup, we are getting a super duper large sized July. we haven;t had an official reading of 100 degrees in ten years! 2 days of this-then several in the low 90's ( more normal)
If we were having rainstorms with this, it wouldn;t be so dire....but once again, we are in drought. We have been 6 of the eight years I've lived here.the 1 1/2 years of rain drowned everything, oh well.
the poyculture/ multiply planted beds are definitely doing better as far as moisture. tomatoes, peppers, pumpkins, squash basil-love the heat. and I don;t have any corn to worry about high heat( it may not tassel and pollinate the ears properly at high temps). I worry about the cucumbers, the shrubs, etc. the forest part can take care of itself.
so I water. and water. and kind of worry about the well ( we have guests who have left toilets running, faucets open...sigh)
goats are in shade with lots of water. puppies will be brought in by about 10 AM-not back out until 4 or 5.and we all wait-for summer to return to normal.
gotta take water to the little trees up front...
