Abeeson20, I agree. I too am between Chicago and Milwaukee by Lake Michigan. I've been watering twice a day. Some items are going great. My contender beans however got burned up and i was able to salvage some, bu that was it. everything else is growing nicely, though I'm concern about my cukes and potatoes, they don't like the heat as much. This drought is driving me nuts!

Has anyone been having problems with wasps hanging around the bird baths? I guess they need water too, but the birds are afraid to use the bird baths.

Don't have a bird bath but I have seen them hovering around some of my smaller plastic containers I use in the garden with water in them. The birds are going nutso when I turn on my sprinklers, I swear I've never seen so many birds in years than I am this year!
