Hot again

After a brief, but enjoyable, cool spell it has been very hot and humid the last couple of days. Near daily watering has been the norm. Everything look great. Harvested a huge squash and we have a bunch of birdhouse gourds growing. The hot peppers are coming into their own while the sunflowers grow taller daily.
The pumpkins are trying hard - we will see if we get any. The zebra tomatoes are doing well and the strawberries are loving the frequent watering. They are sending out so many daughters, way too cool. Blossom end rot seems to enjoy showing its ugliness - argh!
Folks have found the cut and come again zinnia... remember cut and they will come again, pull the plant out of the ground and they become one and done zinnia - just sayin'! Ahh, vermin!
