Heat Wave
By: Nancy Maltais
I have never experienced growing things in a long term heat wave. Our weather in New Hampshire usually is mild in the summer with a few dog days of high heat. Our nights usually are so cool I have to run heat in the greenhouse where I grow tomatoes to keep them over 55 degrees F. The sides of this greenhouse roll up. This usually serves to let the heat out during the day without the expense of a fan and to let the wind blow through for pollination of the tomatoes This year from mid June through most of August we endured temperatures in the 90's and nights in the 70's. The night temperatures would have been beneficial to get the tomatoes ripe. Tomatoes ripen in a dark warm place. Unfortunately, the day temperatures were so high the tomato flowers would not pollinate. Tomatoes set 5 clusters of flowers. The first two clusters did finally set fruit, clusters three to five just fell off. The severe drought did not prevent us from getting plenty of water to the plants. We have a good well. Being inside a greenhouse, you provide the water.
Outside the greenhouse, vegetable crops also suffered. Again, we could supply water but the temperatures created problems. Unlike tomatoes, squash and cucumbers need bees. The bees stayed close to their hives, fanning the hives to keep them cool so our flowers were not visited frequently to be pollinated. Finally the heat broke for a few days and our field was alive with buzzing during that time. You could hear the bees several hundred feet away from the field. There were so many bees in the fields we made extra sure we watered very early before they arrive. Now a secondary problem, we got an unusually large harvest of cucumbers and squash all at the same time. When you have a surplus, you need to lower the prices to sell it off quickly.
This year is the most humbling experience of my life. The heat and drought have brought me to a higher awareness of our dependence on nature. It also has shown me how so many people do not realize how much our food chain depends on nature. So long have people plucked vegetables from a counter instead of a vine or bush, they ....[MORE]
