It’s been hot here in the metro DC area. UGLY hot. The last couple of days have been cooler and less horrendous, but the damage has been done. The ‘Spitfire’ Nasturtiums look like I passed them over with a blow torch. I can’t even bear to take a picture. They’re alive and appear hearty enough to survive, but it’s probably going to be a while before they recover.
We’re supposed to hit 98° on Sunday. 99° on Tuesday, and high 90s all week. I hope I won’t be writing an epitaph for the Nasties in a couple of weeks.
I’m growing Nasturtium “Spitfire” for the GROW project. Thanks, to Renee’s Garden for the seeds.
I know!! Took the younger kid to Cabin John Park (and train) and it was a delightful, perfect day. NOT looking forward to Sunday!
Yuck. It's supposed to be in the mid-90's here all week. Going to be a rough week for both the gardener and the garden here
Have a friend in your area and it's crazy hot! Heck, as Colleen said, it's not exactly frosty here in MI. As much as I like blow torches (and I'm gonna guess it's more than average), that would not be a good look on nasturtiums. Hope they recover by next month.
I feel your pain! My nasties are toasted and I hope they survive OK.
Sorry to hear about your temps! I hope your nasturtiums recover nicely.
Thanks! They're hanging on, so I'm hopeful.
