More heat and a miscount.

The heat wave comes in again. It was 89 around noon today so we buttoned up and it is now 6:05 pm and 89 again after climbing to 96. Sun is just at the horizon now and should be reasonable temps in a half hour or so. Needless to say I have not been outside other than going to the store around 11 this morning. 

Rocky checking the carrots on our evening walk yesterday. I'm glad he's getting brave and exploring over there so I can check the garden at the same time. As long as I don't get too close to him or move suddenly he's fine. 

Cauliflower in different stages. Smallest one is finally getting some girth, the middle one is spreading a bit so concerned it might be bolting and the largest one is picture perfect so far. I am going to try broccoli next year for sure if I have this kind of luck with cauliflower.

 The Romaine is doing well enough, starting to gain some size but also looking a bit wide and not compact as it should be. This heat is throwing everything off for sure. The tomato is now topping out at 12" according to the wire fence and it just isn't looking green and healthy as it should. No money for fertilizer unfortunately. The potatoes are doing good as far as I can tell, they have a long way to go before the tops start fading and then have to wait and keep them underground for a while. Midsummer for sure is what I'm thinking.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the carrots, again was tempted to pull the largest bundle of leaves but it just didn't look big enough yet. Will see what they look like by the weekend and then separate out the largest ones. Can't wait too long because then they start getting tough and bitter.

 As for the miscount, I went back through my posts and sure enough, I planted 4 each of the three different peppers so guess what, they're all accounted for. Yay! I have no idea where the squash seed is. there's three 'empty' pellets that I'm still watering just in case and I think one of them is sprouting. The two tomatoes have roots showing through the paper mesh so am having to keep those constantly moist and may well plant them out this weekend. Hopefully. Weather says it's going to still be in the 90's so taking a chance for sure. Might just take them down with me tonight with a bottle of water and plant them.

This also means I have to get out and water real soon again. Evening activity of course. 

More pictures and stuff when it happens.
