Hot and Dry

We have a routine now.
We water twice a day.

Second blooms are smaller than normal.

The gourds begin to fold their leaves by 9am.

Zinnias to the rescue. The seedlings are beginning to bloom.
We will have butterfly food now until frost.
The temperatures are rising this afternoon into
the 100's once again.
We are praying for rain.
The drought continues.

Przykro mi, że nie ma u Was deszczu, tyle ile potrzeba. U nas było go za dużo nawet. Pozdrawiam.
I am sorry that you do not have in the rain, as much as needed. With us it was too much even. Yours.

We are having an unseasonably hot summer too, although it seems like yours is drier. It definitely increases a gardener's work when conditions are difficult. I hope that you get the rain that you need soon.
