115? i'd say that's impossible to keep anything alive!

last summer or the one before we had 37 or 39 90+ days, we broke an all time ever state record high when it hit 103 one day, a few were 100-102. ct seldom sees days above 97 and 100 is very rare. my broccoli did fine, produced side shoots and grew. i don't know where that ct is 31st comes from. maybe you should come here in late june to late august because people from south flordia have said to me "how do you stand the heat and humidity here in the summer?"! if you are near long island sound it is cooler but inland it is wicked.

trust me, in july and august it's pleasant when it is only 85 with a dew point of 63 or 64!
