Today was predicted to be 44°C and I think that it was easily that hot. The tomato bushes were scorched and shriveled up at the end of the day and what was a row of beans ended up being a row of dead leaves and sticks.
The basil survived, as did a few other plants, but what a wreck of a vegetable garden it is now!
Unfortunately I didn't think to do this earlier, but after lunch I cut up some tomatoes to dry in the hot wind, but I will have to finish them off in the oven, as I really didn't give them long enough in the sun.The temperature dropped in the late afternoon.
