I've been frantically trying to cope with the weather to keep my plants alive and the garden weeded and prepped for the Garden Bloggers Fling group coming to my garden this weekend. Two days in the 90°s last week and more of the same Monday and Tuesday. I was out just after 5 am yesterday morning to weed and water while the temps were bearable. I went in by 8:30.
Leaves on many plants are turning brown and crisp from the heat. Other plants are bursting in and out of bloom in a matter of days. Hoping my Martagon lilies last until the weekend but I have my doubts.
I'll be back next week when the temps should be lower and I can relax and play in the garden.
I do hope the temps settle down so you can enjoy the Fling tour. We've had a few nice days but today the extreme heat is visiting NC.

The temperatures have climbed here too and I'm following a similar playbook, trying to get my gardening done early in the day. Best wishes with the Fling tour, Linda. All real gardeners know that weather can't be programmed and will understand some singed leaves.

Hope the Fling tour goes well and if the temps don't let up for the plants, I hope it is more tolerable for the visitors. How frustrating to have such a beautiful garden and be thwarted by the temperature.

While you are sweltering, some of us here in the PNW are anxiously awaiting a few days when the temperature moves above 69°!
Best wishes for a fun Fling. It sounds like a lovely way to celebrate summer.
