The heat has been brutal here. 90+ every day with a possibility of 100 in the next couple days. We also set a record for lack of rain in June. .2 inches for the month. I pulled all my AG's to concentrate on the FP and tomatoes. The FP are not enjoying the hot dry weather much either, they are getting burned vine tips. The plants themselves look fairly decent considering the weather. I have had to water pretty much every day. Nothing has set yet because of the heat, but I wasn't planning on pollinating till mid-July anyway. Just for the heck of it I pollinated 4 marrows this morning and covered with small chairs to shade them. A couple of pics to follow.
