Hot Hot Heat
This past week it has been hot here, like 90-95 degs! My plants are going gangbusters, except for the beets which didn't transplant at all. Reminder for next year, just plant seeds in ground and do not transfer. I think the mulch has really helped the soil retain moisture as I watered on Sunday and Tuesday but not Monday. We have also been harvesting the tango lettuce. It has a tangy flavor and ruffly edges. It's nice to have a really fresh salad every day. I've been picking the biggest leaves every couple of days. The romaine lettuce is growing nicely as well. I bought the starts at a store and am waiting till the heads are just the right size and praying they don't bolt with the heat.
