I appreciate everyone reading and commenting. Edward, we might see 68 again in October or November. It's a nice thought. nat4b, Rita and Chris and Debra, Thank you for the kind wishes. Nate and Nancy, The cool to cold shower is absolutely the best thing for the kind of excessive heat I was experiencing. It is imperative that you reduce body temperature...in the hospital emergency room, you would be cooled down with a cold water blanket that has the same effect. You might also get IV solutions that had been chilled as well.I have seen ice packing used to chill a patient. If you are at all close to a heat exhaustion or heat stroke, cool quickly. Most times a shower is doable. DH has instructions to "throw" me in the shower with the cold water on if he ever finds me passed out outside in the heat. DH was close at hand when I was in the shower, and I doubt my knees could have buckled without his intervening first. I was pleasantly surprised that the symptoms began to abate so quicckly, but it took quite a long time before the flushing and heated cheeks paled. The nausea abated very soon after the cold water flowed and started cooling me off. I had not reached the point (very dangerous) of stopping perspiring. I did not get chills from the cold water or exposure to the fan oddly enough. ngmomma, I have dealt with these temps my entire life, but having to be so covered outside makes it much harder. As Jean, Debra, and Nancy said, it can come on very quickly. Watch, be aware of your body's reactions and pay attention...and cool off pretty quickly, Jean you did well going in and using the ice waterto cool, face and pulse points plus the popcicle. Good use of resources. kay

Taraleigh: Any container will do. I've used cottage cheese containers, ziplock containers, tupperware :) anything. They need some room, plenty of food and air holes at the top of the container. Saran wrap works fine, but you might want to use a rubberband or something to keep it in place. I put paper towels at the bottom and add in a few sticks. The caterpillars will usually choose a stick to attach to when they go into their chrysalis. You will need to change the paper towels every day or two, they are pooping machines :) Once they are in their chrysalis, I usually take the stick, (or whatever they used and attach that to a stick) and stick it in flower foam to hold it upright. I put it in a mesh laundry bag and stick it on the porch. I leave it outside at that point just in case a caterpillar ended up getting parasitized.

Thanks guys!! Raybo The Pinaepple and Golden Jubilee were grown in my version of the Earthtainer The Brandywine was grown in a real Earthbox The Bonnie's and Isis Candy were grown in a raised bed with mostly Garden and Bloom Harvest supreme The Bonnies Original is excellant. A perfect blend of your standard Tomato taste with a nice zing at the end. I went to a BBQ at my buddies last night and he brought some store bought red Tomatoes, I brought a few of my Bonnies. We did a taste test. The difference was seriously night and day. All were quite impressed! I havnt eaten the Pinaepple yet, want to make sure its good and ripe. The one Pinaepple I ate this year had a the dreaded BER, I cut it off, but the tomato was a bit bland. I'm hoping its because of the BER and premature ripening. I have yet to eat the Golden Jubilee...will be slicing and eating tomight. The plant has been big and strong, but I've pulled upwards of 50% due to BER. :(

6:30 p.m. Sunday-just came in from taking the garden off-(went out @3)-wasn't going to-wanted to keep it at least a month longer,but Jack appeared last night at some time and worked some of his magic-So,the wheelbarrow is FULL of green tomatoes,the majority the size of tennis ball and much bigger-saved the little tags so that I get the same breed next year;also picked the equivalent of an 8 qt basket of ripe or close to ripe ones-I've already picked and canned,eaten and given away at least a bushel in the past 3 wks. And all of that from only 8 plants.(There also was at least 1/2 bushel of ripe,green,and frost bitten ones that will be tilled in) Pulled up the cucumbers as well-a few quarts of pickles to do this week,and a 3L basket or so of some big enough for relish,but will be eaten by old Rondo,instead. Canned up 6 quarts of the little wee potatoes for the winter,and bagged 20# so far of most close to the size of my hand;still have a few hills to dig. That leaves the pumpkins,close to 15 for sure,all of various sizes;some were pulled,others left to grow some yet;there are a few of the little decorator sort,kinda cute little fellas;that leaves the dill,of which there is plenty,and the swiss chard-still some for me to put away for the winter and plenty if the deer decide they need a snack. Busy week coming up-massive canning operation ahead,3 friggin medical days(PITA)and then theres just the doggin I have to do-ahhh,such is the life! gotta love it!

Fantastic photos of some beautiful daylilies.
My GE is blooming too. Just got it at the end of May, so it's not nearly as voluptuous as the clump you have. Yours is just breath taking.

Hey, what constitutes an 'Oldie Goldie' any way? I have EOS and Islesworth, I didn't know they were OGs!

Great photos, Rick.

Thanks for sharing your bling.
