Just had one heck of a thunder-banger go through, but that's happened every morning for a few days now. Too much heat makes for bad weather; we're just grateful it isn't tornadoes. I think the tomatoes and cukes are loving it.
just had to add. it is now 76 degrees and cloudy and dark. while i was watering big fat drops of sparse rain began to fall. watered anyway. the rain didn't last long enough to do any good. southern calif. in july, go figure.
