With the overcast and cooler weather yesterday, my pumpkins look like they have sprung back to life. I've been irrigating the crap out of them over the past few weeks. But the excessive heat just hasn't been allowing them to thrive and they haven't been putting out near as many flowers. Hopefully that turns around with the cooler weather.

Looks like this coming weekend will have chances of rain for me. I think I'm going to get some cabbage seeds in the ground. I'm going to need to start looking for carrot seeds as well.

Once again, hot and dry weather decimated my strawberries. I'll have to talk to my local garden center and see when they'll start taking orders for bare root plants. I've almost always been able to keep them things alive throughout the summer. But these past 2 years it seems like there was nothing I could do to keep them alive.

I have all my tomato along with started broccoli, cauliflower, and brussel sprouts on the porch, but waiting til the blowtorch of heat turns down alittle before planting them.

I planted fall potatoes this morning before it got up to 100.
