Quick peek from Day 3 of our recent heat wave (102 degrees F on the car thermometer–yowee!)
LIKE IT HOT
Happy carrots (don’t tell the bunny!)
DON’T
Puff takes cover. The ducks molted the rest of their baby plumage–all in one day!
LIKE IT HOT
Tomato plants, pre-actual tomatoes, but still happy.
NOPE
Tarragon didn’t like cold, wet and rainy either which might have been the real problem.
LOVE IT HOT
Baby corn and bean plants.
The beans grew that much in 3 days!
NOT SO MUCH
Droopy dill.
OKAY WITH HOT
Pumpkin…so far. When further along, continued
heat will make the vines droop.
ABSOLUTELY NOT
Very unhappy hydrangea.
Since the girls have littered their pen and favorite resting places with so many feathers, it looks like two kids had a pillow fight and didn’t clean up. Speaking of which, how am I supposed to clean up feathers? They don’t quickly biodegrade like other things ducks, er, drop. I know, let’s make our own puffy coat!*
Safe to come out yet?
*If we start now, we might have one by the time Pamela goes to college.
