Catharine, We have a similar situation here in Charlotte, we hit the 100 degree mark twice last week. I watered everything yesterday except the area around my pond. Today I watered roses. Tomorrow I will probably have to start the whole bloomin process again. If it is this hot now, what will July and August be like???

My arms are sore from hauling hoses. My laundry basket is stuffed with malodorous t-shirts and soggy bath towels. My garden has gone catatonic. And the mercury appears stuck at 95F. And it's not even July yet. Catharine, going out to haul the soaker hoses some more
