The weather here has been screwed up for a couple years, the not normal seems to be the new normal, the farmers lost all their crops this year because of a late winter, snow on the ground in early May and 96 at the end of the month, NO spring, Fall seems to have come early this year, leaves are already falling the birds have left for the winter, tomatoes are rotting on the vine. We did get a few but they were small and flat tasting.
I wonder what I will be growing in Hawaii next year. Pineapple, Mango, Banana, other tropical fruit.

Re: There's Always The Weather
I finished the cleanup today of the west side garden.
After wiping out the attack force of bumblebees yesterday, the remaining ones left me alone.
My finger is still about 1/3 larger than normal, though...

Re: There's Always The Weather
Cooled down today from low 90s yesterday to high sixties and low 70s today. Fall can't make up its mind. Next 10 days are supposed to be mid/high 90s on Monday then back down to higher 80s. We had no spring and now it looks like we'll have no Fall either. Princess has been harvesting her garden, but there are still about 50 tomatoes hanging in various sizes and color. We're going to have to do some stealth packages of tomatoes left on the neighbors back porch - like she used to do to us.
Re: There's Always The Weather
We're looking at another week of high 90's here.
My garden is pretty much gone. It only sprinkled here, and it's been a very dry August. Can't water everything.
Fall can't seem to make up its mind here, either.

Re: There's Always The Weather
We did not have any rain this summer, usually we have several thunderstorms, not this year.
BUT
there is no such thing as global warming, I herd that from some source.

"Global Weirding".
Some areas get warmer, some get cooler. Some get wetter, some get drier.

Re: There's Always The Weather
The last two nights have had a coolness in the air

after weeks of higher night time temperatures then daytime, almost. Sort of.

I even ran the heater for a few minutes.
