Day 26: It's HOT

It's hot, hot, hot. If you're watching the news you might have heard that we're having a hot streak here. More than 20 days over 90 degrees, and the last couple days have been over 100.

We've been staying indoors during the worst part of the day, but early this morning it was nice & we played outside in our pajamas. (Better than naked, right?)

Our tomatoes are really taking off, and we have 3 baby pumpkins that are just beautiful. I'm really excited about the jalapenos, and soon we'll have potatoes and onions too. Not sure what to think of our pineapple. We've never seen one grow before, so we're not sure if it's going to make it. Our black raspberry plant is done for the year, but now the red raspberries are coming on. Unfortunately, we have a very territorial bee (or maybe bees) that don't let us get too close. Hmph! :( (That's me sulking.)

We also have lots and lots of zucchini, and we're incorporating it into almost everything: spaghetti, salad, burgers, bread, and pancakes. Matt made cinnamon-zucchini pancakes that are now my FAVORITE.
