CAMDEN, Del.- The heat and lack of rain are not just affecting large-scale farmers; home gardens are also suffering.
Wayne Doyle could be the ultimate home gardener, but that has not stopped the weather from eating away at his bounty.
Doyle is a hair stylist by trade but has an extensive backyard garden that supplies his family, friends and a small produce stand with lots of vegetables.
"We lost some of our crops from the lack of rain and also from the rabbits and things like that," he said. "They're really affecting us this year because they're looking for moisture any way they can get it."
The dry weather is affecting not only is vegetables, but his wallet too.
"This stand doesn't make any money, it really doesn't. It basically pays for helping us to keep our thing going," Doyle said.
He takes requests from friends about what they would like him to grow, but not everything can stand up to this summer's heat.
"They're not accustomed to the heat, they just shut down," he said. "They sit there and they sit there. You'll see blossoms that come from your beans and then they'll just fall.
