I'm melting! Melting! or How Minnesota has become a Rainforest

So we've broken a few records here and I haven't really seen my garden in days. That's because the temperature is in the nineties, and so is the humidity. Oh wait, it's only in the eighties, that's not so bad, right?

The good news is that I haven't had to water, because the air is full of it and because we've had occasional thunderstorms. The thunderstorms don't relieve the heat, but at least they give me an excuse not to go out in it. From what I can tell on my short journey from the garage to the house, all of my plants seem to be loving it. Especially the Pineapple Sage (picture later) which is from Guatemala and probably thinks it's died and gone home. It's gotten very large, which is fine with me as it's a wonderful smelling plant. Fingers crossed for red flowers on that one.

The broccoli is flowering, and the lettuce. These are things a city girl who shops in a grocery store never knew existed. I didn't even realize the broccoli I ate was a flower until this year. Another picture will go here of what a flowering broccoli looks like.

So don't expect any more updates until the heat breaks or I go crazy and decide to go out in it. If I don't die of heat stroke.
