Gardening and the heat

Returned from Chicago last night to nearly 90 degree heat and an overflowing herb & veggie garden! Baby green tomatoes and popping up and W has decided we need a few more tomatoe cages. I am facing a weed invasion from the areas where W 'reclaimed' space in the backyard. Every weekend is a weed killer and Preem application. Two weeks ago saw the addition of weed fabric and mulch. Now I may need to find a way to keep Peter Rabbit out of my lettuce! I'm curious to see what the total cost of producing one bunch of edible tomatoes and a few green and jalapeno peppers is going to be!!!
