What's the temperature where you are???

Thank you. I do try my best to see a positive side to this prolong rain. I have not water my garden bed for awhile. I had repots my pot plants that were drowning in the excessive water. A few I just let them standing in the garden bare no pots.

It has been raining all night long, and still at it........the mud..., I am going out today as it is now a new rule, rain=out of the house. That make me happy.

Some part of my pavements are cover in green mold, my chicken runs muddy, my wheat flour has insects in it, the lawn is flat down soaking..that is prolong rain there.

I'm not sure if this will help in an overly humid room, but in this particular place, flour fly larvae are usually repelled with garlic. Just take unpeeled garlic cloves and put them in flour so that they lie there and smell of garlic. For some reason, the local flour fly really doesn't like garlic and avoids it. True, this should have been done when the flour was still good, before it started to contain "extra details"...
Here it is generally customary to put something somewhere, it is customary to put stinking orange, lemon and tangerine peels in closets with woolen clothes, because moths, it turns out, for some reason do not like this smell. When a Russian woman puts on an expensive fur coat at the beginning of winter, all the pockets of this coat are filled with trash - orange peels that have been lying there all summer so that the fur coat would not be damaged by moths.

Although I don't know what to do with flour that is obviously wormy. Personally, I would sift it, make a parody of bread out of it, bake it (or even boil it like dumplings) and give it to the chickens. And only if the flour is not moldy. Moldy flour cannot be used, it can lead to aspergillosis in chickens.

As for the garden... It's hard to say... Specifically here they usually try to adapt to the weather, if the summer is cold and damp - they plant a lot of cabbage, if it's damp and warm - tomatoes, and if it's hot and dry - oddly enough, watermelons. True, specifically here they are more often planted in greenhouses, because the nights can still be cold.

We roll out furs up and put in a bag and toss in the freezer for the summer - imagine my cousin from California looking in the freezer and seeing a furry animal in there


Today was another lovely day, 28C and sunny. All that comes to an end tomorrow and it gets cold and rainy. Frost warnings out for Sunday and Monday already. But for now it’s lovely so the chooks and I will take it!

Thank you.
I will do the garlic in wheat flour. I do sift flour before I use it.

In my food store room I have a small dehumidifier machine, it is working excessively hard and still I got those flies in my flour, sugar, rice and pasta.

Garden wide, it is very hard, my plants are not green but turning light green colour, many of those leafs are having yellow patches on them. Tomatoes do not like to much water.

I will throw all sort of seeds in the garden beds today, whatever survive will survive.

80° with a dew point of 49° while feeling like 80° and 34% humidity.

Partly cloudy and windy this evening with diminishing winds late and a low of 52° with WSW winds of 20 to 30mph.

Have a warning about a Dust Storm that is gonna impact 7 counties here in Illinois, including the one that I live in. There will be less than a quarter mile of visibility with strong winds in excess of 50mph.

My mother used to store her fox jacket in a specialiy designed cooler room at a Sydney clothing store. The story went that fur coats still moulted over summer. I've had the jacket since the 1980s, when i wore it to hospital to give birth to my son in mid-July. I recently cut it up to make a hat for winter lol
