Been a mild rainy summer for the most part
with only moderate heat,highest(a couple times)
was 93F (34c)including yesterday.

Already 90F (32C)@ 11:30am today,so probably the
warmest day of the year today,maybe around 95F (35C).
Supposed to last a week with tomorrow or Monday being
the last day.....so

some plants that no like heat.

C.Cooperi "Brentwood" is tolerant,it will also
respond with another 3 croziers(fronds)if we get
the 2.5" (5+cm)rain they are predicting for Mon/Tues.
Followed by more springlike temps.
