No water restrictions here. We are still dealing with flooding on the Missouri River so we have no worries about that. It's still very hot here. Temps are usually in the high 90s, sometimes in the low 100s. Heat indexes are usually around 110-115. Very hot and very humid also.

Garden here appear to be holding up. I run the soaker hose every night for an hour or so unless it rains alot then I skip that day and the next. My maters are getting pretty big though they are still green. Picking cucumbers and yellow squash several times a week. Plants are holding up well. One of the plumies you sent me is starting to take off in this heat and looks like it will unfurl it's first set of leaves here pretty quick. The other one isn't so far along yet mainly due to some big plants shading it some. I need to get updated pics of them. Other plants are holding up well despite lack of watering. That speaks well for the plants!! lol
