sakon76So while I was out in NJ, SoCal apparently got hit by a heat wave. And despite my husband watering things for me, about half the stuff that was not in the ground got crisped. Victims:
--4 of my 6 chard definitely dead
--all of my leeks half-dead, along with some of my walking onions
--very unhappy lemon verbena
--very unhappy horseradish
--one of my two lemon thymes is probably dead
--at least one strawberry plant dead
--three mint plants severely stressed
--one of my two lemon balm plants severely stressed
--my purple Iceberg rose very unhappy
Watered them all this morning, will see what I can put in the ground and/or further water tonight after work.
