I remember on a visit to Dallas a few years ago, a horrible infestation of grasshoppers.  Will the drought make that happen again?  Locusts are back in the east (the 17 year cicadas) and I couldn't figure out the other day in kentucky if this was a grasshopper or a newly emerged cicada :

 

Good luck protecting the greens if you got dem hoppers a comin'!

Our 115 degree temps will take care of these.

My goodness you are a gardening fool! LOL  You have quite the green thumb and where on earth are you with 115 degree temps. YIKES

Peoria, AZ (North Phoenix)

And I thought it got hot here in Florida!

It was 118 in Bullhead AZ yesterday.

Expecting 121!!!!!  Yikes!  Even for me!!!

Wow, that is crazy!  I will always keep that in mind when I complain about the heat here in Florida. LOL 

Yikes... that's hot... just talking to some friends in Palm Desert, Ca via the phone and they said it was the same... wow.... you can cook outside... forget the kitchen.  This photos are GREAT!!

Wow, those are coming along great! We've been bombarded with apricots and plums this past week, and finally my little Roma tomatoes are ripening... I love your sunflowers!!
