Sweltering Heat in Sacramento!

Oh my god, can the heat stop already! We have had over 100 degrees for a week now and the next week it will dip down to 99 a couple of times then go back up.

It's taking it's toll on the porch ecosphere. Everything has plenty of water, I have a large umbrella to counteract the hottest part of the day but even so, the plants aren't happy. They aren't getting any cool air at night.

Everything is looking a little listless, some are just giving up and dropping their leaves. The lemon tree hasn't started dropping fruit yet, so that's good. Over all, they won't die, but they are going to need some TLC in the fall to get back into shape.

Poor hot plants.
