It's already too hot!

17 years ago

Or maybe I'm too old. It's 86 right now & I've been working since about 8:30 this morning and I'm beat. Got the rest of my plants moved & divided though, and finally started weeding. I sure wish this plan would come together faster.

I didn't get to play outside at all today, DH needed a new suit for the wedding & then all the other errands - - glad they are DONE !! But tomorrow look out, hope I can get as much done as you did today. Congratulations. Bev

Ugh, I was sweating today too! LOL I bought a few little coleus and vinca as well as some organic compost (haven't spread that or planted anything yet though). But this evening was really nice and i took the kids for a walk. We got our first mosquito bites of the year. :P

The time to fertilize is when the bananas are actively growing. I don't think that you damaged your bananas, but it doesn't really help at this point either. As for fertilizing, this thread may help: http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/banana/msg0702121030198.html

Hello, out there in St. George....lived there briefly myself, and my son just moved back home to AL. from out there a month ago. Glad to have you joining the forum. I would think that dl's would do fine there as long as you give them plenty of water. Like here, they may benefit from some afternoon shade however, because I remember how hot it gets in August and September out there. :) Jan

You know it's too hot when...

You take a rag out of your pocket to wipe the sweat off your face, and the cloth already dripping from the humidity. While walking across the lawn, you try to figure out how to wear a beach umbrella instead of a hat. You give up wearing glasses while working because the sweat keeps blurring the lenses. You remember learning that you can bake cookies in the back window of a closed-up car - after you accidentally sit on the hot metal seat-belt hook. You take a glass of iced tea to the postman, and the ice melts before you've gotten to the mailbox.

Sorry not to have responded yesterday. Cable was out. We are just south of Clermont. These are red wrigglers. Lived in lots of states, the last years in Charlotte, NC. LMK if anyone is interested. Sherry in Canada, you NEED to come south next winter and drive home with Southern Worms!! (You can teach them to say "hoose" and "aboot".) Me thinks that is rain out there. The worms and I need to go dance in it. We have been sooooo dry for soooo long. Dot

Bite your tongue --- I have awaited this warm weather!!!
It is so much better than cold, and we can go outside without putting our coats on, we can play in the dirt without getting cold, the list is endless. I am so glad the weather is warm !!!!!!

"It's 86 right now & I've been working since about 8:30 this morning and I'm beat."

Yeah... It goes from being too cold to work in the garden to too hot to work in the garden with very little in the middle! I was sweatin up a storm today, too, and of course with the heat come the ants, which I was dodging and looking like I was doing some kind of odd tango in the garden.

It was a beautiful day for laying down stone edging! I'm beat from all the work, but thankful for my husband and three sons - only the older two really helped.

It's gonna free-eeze, it's gonna free-eeze. It always does. Just when you get lulled into a false sense of security.
