I have done some light weeding in the side bed and it's already taking a toll on the plants. The 4 o'clocks really don't like the heat on the ground and are showing it by having wilty leaves. I have since put some of the dried weeds back on top to give it some shade and hopefully keep the heat off a little better. It's a hard battle in DFW between weeds and mulching in the heat which always comes and eventually leaves it's mark on crops.
I have watered enough to keep the cantaloupe plant happy and growing. There's even a new shoot producing nice size leaves. If it keeps up I hope to have more cantaloupes in the fall. One of the cats loves them.
I found wasps trying to stay cool as well by making a nest on my rose bush.I haven't gotten it out entirely yet but also don't want to be stung. I'll try again today and see how far I can get.
