Some changes made, still hot.

 It has been in the mid to high 90's for the third day in a row so needless to say I don't get out to the garden until after sunset. 

This is one of the peppers in the west bed. Confused me for a few until I investigated and discovered a spider had pulled all the leaves together for a home. Sorry little one but the plant has to go. I pulled both the peppers and tossed them on the compost pile. The soil was barely damp and they pulled up easily because, hot and no water.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pulled the last three peppers off the jalapeño and then pulled it up. Leaves were coming off easily as well as one, lone flower. It was trying but there were yellowing leaves so it had to go. 

Filled the milk bottle with water, then dumped a handful of fertilizer in the spot and mixed everything in before transplanting the little tomato. I was hoping the cage would go down further but it's hitting the logs at the bottom even after rotating it a few times that was the best I could do. If the little thing survives and grows, I have stakes to help. Yesterday I unhooked the hose and used the cat litter bucket to fill with some water. I realized  I can't lift anything heavy so likely only put in about a half gallon because, you know how well faucets spew out water. 

I don't think I left any water in the milk jug so might have to fill that again. Somehow. Might have to pull the hose out enough to fill the bucket and then use jug, I'll figure it out. Oregano is even yellowing a bit and like everything else, no growth in this heat and lack of water. I watered it well with the new hose a few days ago thankfully that is a tough plant. 

So anyway, not going to be a reasonable temp today until after dark but will try and go out while it's still light and check on the tomato.
