Morning workout, digging up potatoes and onions

With the temperatures still in the hundreds and even at 6:00 AM it is 80 degrees, it's the best time to get out early to finish my digging. Purple, red and white potaoes and white, yellow and red onions.
All dug and set out to cure.
They say theres a chance of rain tomorrow.  The tomato plants have stopped growing and are looking pretty crispy, even though I water them everyday.  Melons are still okay for now. 

What amazes me is my oriental long beans are still thriving.  Every morning I go out and there are new 12 inch long beans appearing that were not there the night before.  They seem to grow in 12 hours.  I get about 1 lb a day.  Definitely worth planting twice as many next year.  These thin long green beans are excellent in stir fries.

The Fish are desparate, send rain!

Our pond is down to the last 12 inches or so.  You can see the fish flopping and the ducks have refused to go near them.  We need rain.  Severe drought conditions persist here in Missouri and 26 other states. Over one hundred degrees expected for 10 more days at least.
Veggies are surviuving because I am watering daily.
Cantalopes are ripening but lost most of the watermelon.  They split in the heat, so I had to toss them to the chickens. 
Cucumbers and tomatoes are prolific!
 I made Gaspacho last weekend that was just to die for:
2 cups Veggie juice
4 lbs red tomatoes, diced
1 medium cucumber, diced
3 jalapenos, diced
1 small red onion chopped
1 large clove garlic
2 TBSP lemon juice
1 TBSP Tabasco
1 TBSP fresh basil
1 cup diced yellow or orange tomatoes
1/4 cup diced cucumber
salt and pepper to taste

Place 1 cup veggie juice in blender with the first 5 ingredients.  Blend until pureed.
Pour into a glass bowl.  Place final cup of veggie juice and next 3 ingredients in blender and blend.  .  Pour into bowl with the rest of the pureed ingredients.  Stir to blend, add the diced tomato and cucumber and adjust seasonings.  Chill in fridge for at least an hour.  Soup is even better the next day!

Hot! Hot! Hot!

It's a constant battle to get enough water in the garden these days.  The temps have been over 100 for at least a week and no relief in site for the rest of this coming week.
Steve has already adjusted the fountain in the pond, which is now a 10th of it's original size.  Poor fish, they're jumping around so much they are scaring the ducks.  The ducks have been tramping across the yard in search of a new pond and found the chicken's water trough.  So they took over at the trough and are miggling with the chickens, too thristy to care.  We may have to scoop up all the fish by this weekend.  No rain in the forecast.
Tomatoes are still okay but all the summer fruit and veggy plants have edges of brown.  One day without water will kill them.  Racoons are in the garden, at night,  eating a lot of tomatoes, they are probably thirsty too.
Please send rain!!!!!
