Are you enjoying this HOT, HOT Windsor summer?
I know many of you have gardens, and it is difficult to keep them from wilting in this crazy hot weather we are having. I have to water my container tomato plants three times per day! The ones in the ground only need it once a day. Also, my coleus and basil on the deck begin to wilt by 3:00 p.m.
So I am setting up some slow-drip irrigation systems using old pop bottles and other plastic jugs so the plants can get a tiny bit of water all day long.
How are your gardens doing? Did you plant the seeds we exchanged this past spring? Did they grow? Please leave a comment below. So far I have harvested four zucchini and about ten okra. Very soon I will have tomatoes--Druzba and Tiny Tim. It's my first year to successfully grown anything from seed, so I'm quite happy!
Here are some links for you.
