That goes double the further north you are!!  It is nice to extedn the 
growing season at both ends and to have milder winters.  But the heat and 
humidity are killing me too (and the highest we've had was 98.6F or 37C)

  Bev; Sometimes you just have to find the silver lining. We had an early
spring this year; I squeezed an extra month in at the beginning of the
growing season. The warm-weather plants are loving it (even if I'm
wilting). We've had plenty of rain and LOTS of heat. We've had years were
it was cold and cloudy all summer; I didn't get any ripe tomatoes until
the end of August (I'll have some by the end of July this year)! I'm
optimistically hoping that I can get another month on the other end of the
season. A little Global Warming is welcome in the frozen north!
