It was a slow death, but I gave up on my little Siam Ruby & Raja Puri. Bought them in Nov. when they were tiny TC's. I guess they couldn't take the few cool damp nights here last 7-8 weeks. Weather is crazy here...6 days ago we had highest temp (98f) since July 07 & today it's in 50's!!
I also lost all my EE's from the big Agristart order. Then, I bought 4 caladium bulbs & they will not come up ...prolly already dead when I got em. Boo hoo
Oh yeah, last week - a raccoon.

Question here is what did you NOT kill. I was driving to work this morning and saw a whole field of brown dried up corn stalks.

June 21,22...

High temps 100,97,98,102,102,101,99,102,101,99,101
Estimate Today, tomorrow... 99,100,100,100,101,98,98,97,97

Precipitation June - 0.79in
So far for July - 0in

Besides that my Raja puri is growing like crazy.

No one wanted any SDCs, so I regretfully admit planting about 20 of them in the fields close to where I live. The plants will thrive there, until about november or December. God bless ther little souls, but I couldn't place them anywhere else. Well maybe I will go and dig them up in October, won't I. If I don't forget about them... that is.

A friend once told me that if you feed the critters they'll leave the plants alone . Tried it...... Everything was bountiful & multiplied, everything but the plants (what plants?).

BTW, watch out for racoons, too. They can take a huge Elephant Ear plant out in a single night .

Into the mulch pile went about 300 root-bound, heat-stressed annual herbs, and another 150 overstock perennial herbs.
