We've had over 40 days of 100°+ temps. My tomatoes will bloom, but they won't set fruit in this heat. About a week ago, we got a temp break. The high didn't get over 95° for a couple of days.
Tuesday, I noticed one tomato plant had set ONE tomato! LOL!
I pray you all get rain, bad down here, but they were harvesting corn in central Texas a week ago. Maybe they got enough. The cotton doesn’t look too good.
We have been very dry since the first of June. The NWS has our area in a moderate drought category. This week was forecast to have chances of rain everyday, and that has been the case. But, the rain is missing me. It has rained several inches, and in some cases much more all around me, but I've only had about a quarter of an inch. Yesterday afternoon a could of clouds came up, it started thundering, and I figured it was our time, but once again, the rain went north and east, and a good rain too. It's very frustrating to watch it rain everywhere but on you when it's needed as badly as we need it now.
Sitting listening to the rain beat on the house, it sounds great. First in 6 weeks, lots of 100+ days.
Corn is all twisted and brown here, beans are stunted and the cotton is bloomed but needs a drink as well. Luckier on the place up in Weakley County, had a couple of showers there.
Looks like Kentucky got drowned yesterday.

Eastern Kentucky had the floods, I'm in southwest Kentucky.

Depends on part of KY. Rain has been going around us for a month. Finally got a little over 2" over past 3 days. OTOH, saw last night that Hazard KY got 13"+ in one day... That is 3 months worth of rain in one shot. KY ANG doing rooftop rescues. Supposed to be calling in a couple Blackhawks from WV ANG to assist. Prayers for the folks in SE KY...
