After planting the tomato seedlings, we started seeds under grow lights in the shed. We planted beans, zucchini, cucumbers, sweet corn, and lettuce. With temperatures still around 105 they germinated in only two days and were large enough to set out into the garden 9 days after we planted the seeds. We set them out on Labor Day and every seedling has survived except a few that birds have eaten. today we set out the lettuce starts, which grow more slowly and every drip line emitter in the yard now has something growing next to it.
The tomato plants are getting to be round and large, and they are blooming although it's probably too hot for any fruit to set at this point. We are excited for a fall harvest several weeks from now.
