Well we are having temps in the low 90’sfor the last 2 weeks. Monday it’s supposed to be 98 way to damn early for these kind of temps and no rain. I have really been pouring the water to the garden. And the next 10 days are showing no mercy.

Same here. Heat and no rain.
I am spending a lot of my time watering. Rain would help but none in the forecast.

Lack of rain is normal here. I water the garden regularly.

Wow, I would need a jacket.

Our low today was 75f at 6 am, high around 95f.
More of the same all week. Expecting 100f some days.
I will do my outside chores very early.
