It's Saturday Night - and the Temperature is Down to 90

rnewste · May 17, 2008

We've had an oppressive heat wave in Northern California, breaking all historic records that set in Thursday. 102 Thursday, 101 on Friday, and 99 today. The promising news is that tomorrow, we should "only" hit 86.

I've had a lot of flowers that were directly exposed to the Sun turn brown and fall off in droves. Fortunately, the flowers that were leaf shaded appear to be hanging in there. Many of the plants have added 3" in growth since the heat wave set in, so some good has come of it. I just hope this isn't a harbinger of things to come this Summer.

The 2 Stupice are the early winners with 14 good sized tomatoes on one plant and 26 on the other plant.
