Too Hot For Gardening!

For those of you are lucky enough not to know, lately the Midwest has been experiencing kind of a scorcher.  And believe it or not, when the temperatures rises above 100, it isn't that much fun to spend time outside in the direct sunlight.

So long story short, my garden is being ignored.  I go outside only long enough to pick the ripe veggies and occasionally water my poor plants when they look like they are on death's bed.

But, never fear.  I have enough tomatoes to try to can a batch of salsa!  If every thing goes as planned, I'll have that adventure to share tomorrow night.

In the mean time, I thought I'd share how much gardening has been impacting my small little life.  The Hubby and I have recently been house hunting.  We're being a little picky and taking our time with our next house, so it's kind of fun.  The sad thing is, I am now judging a house on how garden friendly it is.  I already know I went too small scale with this year's, so I have to make sure our future home will allow me to continue my new little hobby!

Here's my three current faves.
