Hot, Forgotten, Dry

When temperatures hit 95ºF (35ºC) for several days in a row, you find yourself having to water the potted plants and those just recently put into the ground pretty regularly.


It's easy to overlook something.


***

This poor scouring rush (Equisetum hyemale) took a hit:


I expect it will bounce back after some consistent moisture and a bit of fertilizer. If not I have another pot of it that I can divide.


Do I have anything that I need to scour?

I suppose that if this is the worst example of my accidental neglect then I should be pleased. 


Is this going to be a record-breaking summer?

    Let's do a weather compromise, you send us some warmth and we'll send you some of what we have. It's stormy and cold here, rain coming in sideways, thunder and lightening predicted and a winter storm warning in place for elevations above 5000 feet.

    Yikes, that's hot. We're in a bit of a late spring pattern this week (low 80s), but temps will skyrocket to 105° and up next week.

    Mark/Gaz: your comment reminds me of the Portland Fling where I showed you the temperature in ºF and you both just sat there, then I switched the display to ºC and realization showed on both of your faces. Priceless. :)

    Peter: I'll take it! (We have the thunder and lightning already though)

    Gerhard: You get heat too, but you wouldn't like our St. Louis heat I'm sure. :)
