DFW's Dog Days of Summer...

...are here. We had our first two weeks in the upper 90s and last week we actually went over 100 F for the first time. I am still learning this Fahrenheit thing after almost four full years here--I guess if you were born and raised in a metric/Celsius system it's difficult to adjust.
But yes, it is hot in our metroplex, in our little quiet suburban neighborhood, and I have to water the tomatoes and peppers daily now. Poor tomatoes do not take the heat easy, but they are still producing, while the peppers really like this weather! My eggplant is still on the fence--it has flowers but it is yet to be seen if those will take or not.
