100 degrees and counting

Monday morning task - attempt to put shade cover over the greenhouse without a fence walker. Partially succeed. With swamp cooler running, greenhouse stays temperate.

Monday afternoon - as it continues to heat up, I check on the gerbera daisies who are wilting in the hot sun. Daisies join the tomatoes in the greenhouse.

Tuesday morning - decide to pull out the shade cloth for the garden as well. No need to walk the fence and mission accomplished. Gardening in Arizona continues to be a challenge.

Tuesday afternoon - I feel like Ornery Onion as temperature reaches 100 degrees for the first time in 2009. Anyone want to guess how many over 100 degree days there will this year?

  1. We are definitely in a big transition from "perfect weather" to hot. I'm glad you are climatizing, and be excited to get back in your pool!

    We've had to make some adjustments around here too, but luckily I was sick of the park and Henry's bravery.
