Hot! Hot! and Mints Blooming

The hot weather continues (over 100 for the next 4 days) ... the corn is rolled and losing some leaves ... not good!  I would say that the yield will be cut at least in half.

The mints are still blooming despite the lack of rain ... I saw some Hoary Mountain Mint, American Germander, Slender Mountain Mint (about finished blooming) and Downy Wood Mint.  It is hard to believe there is enough moisture in the soil to allow them to bloom.  I am going to continue moving some of them to our garden.  The first pictures are of Hoary Mountain Mint nearly in downtown Holland and the last picture I have not identified yet ... it was in the bottom ... about three feet tall with large blooms over an inch.
