Revolution in the Subtropics

Is there something about the heat that stirs rebellion? We've hit 90 for the past couple days and the Revolutionary Garden is feeling it.


The tomatoes love it.





The beans love it.



But the lettuce just about died on me in a day. So after weighing my options, I tacked up some spare shade cloth.




The plants responded almost instantly. Perky again. And delicious.


Don't know how long I can keep the troops' morale high in this heat...

Everything looks great. You know we're still defrosting the trucks in the mornings here ...

Amazing isn't it? America is a BIG place. In fact, it is several places!
