Whoa. Forecast is for 105 today and 106 tomorrow.

Last night I went out and used Veggie Wash for the first time. You put it in your sprayer (it's a concentrate, 2oz per gallon, and I added a fish fertilizer and some compost tea) and then you spray plants until the leaves are just dripping, and try to get it under leaves as well. It's an insecticidal soap with a few micro nutrients. My garden guru has been raving about it for a couple of years now.

This morning I went out and hand watered, to be sure there is enough water under the mulch to keep the garden standing in this heat. Tomorrow I probably won't water, I'll try to water deep and less frequently, it's better for the plants.
