It has been over 100 for the last 3 days and will be again today here in Knoxville. Yesterday was 105 which is a new all time high for this part of the country. If you don't do it early you don't get it done. Yes, we "got heat" Mark.

I changed my water schedule. I'm running soaker hoses from 2:30-4:00 PM to let plants get water, and try to cool them off in the hottest part of the day too. Plants look good, but the squash bugs look like something out of a movie when I walk across the landscape fabric. Put another ounce of bayer on every plant yesterday.
