Hi Gina!
It has been a beastly week in Tucson. Every day over 100 and the last two days at 110.
107 right now. I agree if you do not get up very early which for me a lot of times is between 5 and 6 in the morning you will melt.
I have a couple hundred pots that have to be watered every morning and now with this very high heat some need a second watering in the afternoon.
Looking forward to fall and winter!
