    Forecast: Still Too Hot To Garden

    Forecast

    Since I started writing this post, the temp has actually crept up to 110 degrees. This is ridiculous. My grass is all dead, none of my plants look healthy, other than my orange tree, which amazingly seems to be quite happy with all this heat. Even my jalapeño peppers are looking puny, which amazes me, since they’re a hot weather kinda plant.

    So if you’re tired of hearing me complain about the heat (I’m even tired of hearing me complain about the heat), go check out some links!

    Gardener’s Supply Company is having a hot summer sale! Hat tip goes to Stop The Ride.

    Garden Rant links to an article about how to work around the summer heat and drought. It’s a must-read for people that are suffering from this drought.

    Earthly Garden on George Michael’s new gardening obsession. Of course, it’s because he has to do community service, but maybe it’ll stick!

    Stay cool, Shakyarders, it’s a hot one!
