I'm not sure Lynn. I keep a spreadsheet on the weather, temps, etc since 2008, I believe and it's never been this hot. The humidity has always been high here. But the blazing sun and wafts of heat are staggering. I want to get out there and rearrange some of my plants, to get them into the afternoon shade part of my garden, but if I don't get outside before 8 am, I can't work for very long. That's why I'm enjoying the small planters with the semps and things. I can bring it all inside to my shop to put it together. I was afraid that they would all object to these temps, but so far, they act like they love.
