With yesterday’s high of 84 and today’s forecasted high of 90, which for once looks entirely likely, vigilant watering is the new name of the game.

The cauliflower at the far edge of the plot near the driveway has pretty much totally given up. Not its fault. We knew the dirt in that area is still really poor, but we’d run out of space. The wilted cauliflower has not recovered, but it’s not dead yet, either. Most of the smaller cauliflowers are pretty bug eaten, but the original ones are doing ok. I think they like it a bit cooler than this.

The carrots seem to be doing well, and we have flowers on all of the tomatoes. On this one, a spider is waiting for a smallish pollinator to become lunch.

We’ve decided that we were successful in selecting the yellow squash to go in a container since it’s started blooming before sending a bunch of vines out, and we have a guess on which un-hill is the pumpkins and which is the butternut.
