Scorcher in Vermont

It's been unbearably hot these past 4 days in Vermont; but my garden is blooming because of it.  I picked 7 snap peas yesterday night which is double what I picked a week ago!  And the tomato plants have started to take off with all the sun they are getting!  I'm feeling a lot better about them now.  And I planted some more radishes to take up space, beans and morning glories. 
My wonderful boyfriend climbed up a ladder in our garage and got down the plant cages for me (I couldn't reach them on the shelf) and now the garden looks lovely! I just have to keep up with the weeds.  Using the horse manure sort of backfired on me in that domain.  It's wonderful for the plants, but it's also fantastic for weeds!  I have lots of dandelions (the bane of my existence) and clover growing.  But now it's become manageable. 
I'll post some pictures of the progress tonight! 

Toodle Loo for now!  Stay cool!
