96 degrees yesterday. 93 today. Hovering in the high 80s all week. I have a portable AC in my bedroom that keeps it down to... the high 70s. Fans blasting everywhere else.
I can't open the windows more than a crack because the cats are such escape artists, they rip out the screens. Some of my screens are actually missing because of this - I was going to get them replaced with cat-proof screens but that turned out to be way more difficult than I anticipated, and then pandemic.
I got up this morning and half my plants were literally drooping over! I watered everything thoroughly. By the time I was done I was dripping wet.
I will see if I can get some pics later today, when it cools off somewhat. One of my cucumbers has turned into Audrey II, and morning glories and beans are thriving, though bugs seem to enjoy eating the former. (While I'm at it... fuck the caterpillars too.) I think the sun + water will be very good for the ones that survive.
