Fortunately we only hit 99 today and then it started cooling. Tomorrow is looking like 80 or so, which would be average for this time of year. It also looks like we are headed back below normal for the weekend.

I probably should have kept the potted DO on the north side of the house were it had been the past week, but I didn’t expect the high yesterday to shoot 9 or 10 degrees past the forecasted high, at least not this summer. The stem looks fine for now. I’ll know better in a week or two. We tend to have warm weather into October and sometimes November, so there is plenty of time for the plant to recover before we starting seeing temps dip below 40. About the only things I expect to lose are the biggest tomatoes and a few peppers. Just the fruits, the plants appear OK. I think even the Moro will make it, but it is going to need to be nursed for awhile.

But back to the question about CHC, has anyone used it for potted bananas? Except for occasional rough transplanting on my part, my citrus really like it. I would think the qualities that let citrus roots thrive, moisture retention without root suffocation, would also be ideal for bananas. Kind of like potting in compost, but I have to supply the nutrients.
