Who Turned Up the Heat!?!?

Geez, I spend a week in New England (motto: Georgia Summer Weather Sucks) and it's like being hit with a hammer when we step off the airplane here. What did y'all do while I was gone?

The irrigation system blew out at some point. If it had ruptured a few inches down, the pumpkin plant would have been washed away when it happened. As it is, everything was bone dry and the plant hasn't grown much, but it's in decent shape.

It's a wonder that any plant can live in this dadgum heat.
