Thanks for rotating the picture--much better! He's a keeper! Keep the peas watered, they should be fine. I usually pull mine sometime in July, as they're pretty much done by then & I need the space to plant my fall garden.

We certainly have mixed weather up here in the north. Cool and gloomy one day or even half a day; a few sprinkles, then it clears up for the rest of the day. Or two days of cool and grey weather followed by one or two full days of sun, although it is still cool. Not too much rain, but about two weeks ago we had one or two days. It is sunny and cool today so far. I remember the drought, too. Seven years of drought and water rationing the last two or three years; we even were asked to supply water to L.A. area, it was so bad; then we had to consider buying from Oregon. That was about the time it cleared up.

It sounds like you are really between a rock and a hard place. If it were me... If planted outdoors, I would put them into pots in the shade - and keep them there until the weather is much more temperate than 90 degrees. In fact, keep them in the shaded pots until late summer/early fall (when it is cooler and will *stay* cooler) - and then plant them in their final location. If kept indoors, put them in a bucket with some water to cover their roots BUT NOT THE CROWNS. (Adding some Vitamin B1 transplant solution to the water will be helpful, too.) If you don't have enough buckets (or unused kitty-litter tubs), you can improvise by putting one of those very large (XL size, I think) Ziploc bags into a 3-5 gallon pot; the pot provides the shape/rigidity, the Ziploc bag holds the water/solution. (FWIW, I have several new daylilies out in the garden right now, with the high temp ~ 90. All of them are in the shade, or at worst get a few hours of sun a day. Some of them are in pots (which may get part sun); the rest are soaking in the shade, in kitty-litter tubs or Ziploc bag/pot combos. At these temps, I think that the plants are much better off in the pots; I really should hurry to get them planted...)

What a fantastic variety of rose blooms Tammy, and the dogs look like they are having such FUN!!!! Little E loves her ball even when the weather is in the 100s, lol. But that's the nature of border collies, :P! Oh, Bless, the animals at the Shelter can really appreciate all your hard work for them! Tammy, we too are getting recordbreaking heat as well, heat that's not been here for over a century as well. Beth, what makes us all roast in the Midwest is that we are landlocked, far away from the oceans. Where the oceans are at, at least coastal cities can get tons of coolness from summertime melting polar caps recirculating and cooling down the area. Here we have nothing but drought and terrible heat. I actually need to change my zone description too. I can grow teas now in my locale...that's how dramatic the weather change has been for us. I actually tried to change my zone a few times, but Gardenweb kicked out my changes. I will try once more. This thread reminded me to try again, lol!
