I feel like giving up!

It has been in the 100's for the last three weeks (at least), I am still getting some tomatoes, but I have set out 3 seed trays and every time it seems like something happens to them. The birds eat the plants, a dust devil comes through and knocks them over, or they just plain dry out. At this rate I am only going to have 8 plants this winter. Then there is the problem of it is just to danged hot to go outside and do anything. The other night at 10 o Clock it was 100 outside. I have to go build a fence around the garden to keep out the ground squirrels but I just cannot get up the muster to go out in the heat to do it. I know I just won't have much of a garden this winter if I don't start stuff now, but danged it all, I am sick of this heat (and the gosh darnoodleyed critters eating my transplants).
Sorry for the rant, but I thought I would start a thread for those of us who just needed to vent about their gardens.
