When it is 110 degrees outside, there is not a whole lot you can do but wait for it to not be 110 degrees. Thankfully it is only supposed to be 92 degrees today. Yesterday, when the weather cooled a bit in the evening, I went outside to see how the garden is handling the heat. Yaaaa… it died. Grrr. Not everything is dead, but it looks awful out there. The aphids are all over the milkweed, some plants grew so big they collapsed and broke. and other are just withered from the heat. I want so badly to just yank all of it out and start over. I am pretty sure that is hubby’s worst nightmare. Today I am going to avoid going outside today to stay out of the heat and to keep from killing my entire garden. I will however glare at it from the window inside.
