It been 112-115 during the day for about a week. Lows are in the 90-92 range. It's hot. It hasn' rained since March. It's dry. The dew point is beginning to inch its way up. Warm wet winds are bring moisture from Mexico and the tropics. We're entering our monsoon season, which brings AZ 25-40% of the annual rainfall. Storms generate during the heat of the day and then roam the deserts and mountains in late afternoon, evening, and during the night. Some storms bring spectacular lightning and thunder events. The vinca, dianthus, and portulacca don't mind the the weather. This pot gets maximum sun, from about 9:00am to 4:00 during the hottest months of the year. The colors and volume of the hardly little guys is amazing. I give them a good soaking every evening during this hot strectch. This is my reward. Thanks guys!
