With a vengeance! Yesterday our high was 98 and today 109. Tomorrow is supposed to be 100. However, those in the know say we should be back to our 2010 summer coolth by the weekend.
I seem to remember that we had a couple of 95 degree days back in late June but since then it has been much cooler than usual. Everyone on the central coast is complaining that their tomatoes just aren’t ripening. I think that’s a result of nighttime temps being below 55. But this little hot spell should produce enough tomatoes for gazpacho which we are really looking forward to.
Yesterday we had the first swiss chard from our garden. Usually summer would be too warm for good chard but not this year. I picked all the outside leaves; hope the hot spell will be over before the new leaves are formed.
