odd weather last week

[granmahen]

Had to comment on our weather last week. We went from 100's in the day and high 70's at night (which means no one is comfy, especially the veggie garden) to 80's in the day and high 60's at night. This lasted 5 WHOLE days. Lovely respite, for sure. New growth on the roses and tomatoes are blossoming again. But....it went from 82 to 102 overnight again. So here we go, dog days of August. Watering twice a day....which reminds me....I think that is why crops are growing but not fruiting. I'm having to water so much just to keep zukes, cukes, beans and peppers from wilting. Here's to a milder Sept.

Here in our area (Louisville, Ky), went the entire month of July without hitting 90 degrees...a record...really wierd. We had TONS of rain though...all the way up through last week. Mowing grass about every 4 days, but have heard farmers talk about crops being affected adversely by all the rain (never thought I'd hear farmers talk about too much rain). This week we're getting the HOT, HUMID weather/temps.

My brother/sister-in-law live in San Diego. They've been talking about the heat there recently...

Amazing the difference 100 miles makes! I don't think we had any days in July that weren't under 90 down here!

We too had a cooler than normal week last week, but it is back with a vengeance
