Heat Advisory
We're in a heat advisory, which means especially hot and humid temperatures. Minnesotans aren't used to this. (I'm not used to this!) The dew point yesterday was 78 F, which is the normal high temperature. I've been watering my garden early in the morning. The pots in the sun need more water, sometimes twice a day. After some cooler than average temperatures, I am happy to see my tomatoes and peppers ripening. I was nervous that I wouldn't get ripe pumpkins, but this weather helps. The photo is yellow pear tomatoes.
