Feels like fall here. High of 80ºF today, with a low of 63ºF tonight and high of 70ºF tomorrow. Then supposed to be in the mid- to high-70's the rest of the week, with a chance of rain Monday and Tuesday. Good growing weather! Smile

3 more blistering hot days (105+) then maybe the triple-digits will be over for this year and I can get back to some serious gardening. How's the Weather Where You're At? - Page 23 1787710427

Finally, the much needed rain! The drought is over for this year! Can turn off the drip irrigation timer for a while.... Smile

Plenty of rain here, too, in New Orleans.

Here in Great Britain we are having strange weather that is perfect for blight on potatoes & tomatoes warm moist and not much wind to move it around .
I was looking to having a bumper crop of Glasshouse tomatoes five weeks ago . 12 days ago the leaves looked a bit limp gave them a tomato feed and on day 10 it became very hot . Almost all the leaves turned yellow at first I thugth the high temps had cooked the toms then ten days ago realised I'd been ell & truly zapped with blight .
No amount of copper based blight spray will change things so I've been cutting off all yellow & yellowing leaves each day & picking all toms that are slightly ripe . Bringing the tams indoors , giving them a weak veg concentration wash of baby bottle sterilant for a fw minutes , rinsing them off then putting them on trays to dry off & ripen up .

So far I've managed to get about 30 pounds of toms this way .

Well good luck with the plan, have you had success with doing that before, Plantoid?

CC, thinking of you this morning as I watch the weather report. It looks like you'll be getting that rain you asked for, maybe more than you wanted. We're expecting rain here too, but more towards the eastern part of the state and up your way. Lots more!

I've noticed a couple of trees with leaves turning already, and even one with leaves on the ground. It's that time of year when we have a couple of cool nights, then it heats up again. I've enjoyed the cooler weather of the past couple of days, mostly for the drier air. Can we have a long, beautiful fall for a change, pleeeeease? okay

No triple digits in the 10 day, so now I can get back to some serious gardening. How's the Weather Where You're At? - Page 23 1787710427

Unexpected thunder and rain chased me back into the house. affraid

Currently 89 degrees at noon. happy turtle

Waiting for it to cool off before planting Brassicas, peas, lettuce, carrots. Garlic and Fava Beans will go in late Oct early Nov depending on the weather.

**Scorpio Rising** 8/28/2019, 6:56 pm

80 today but just opened the windows. Gonna be nice overnight. 50s

countrynaturals 8/29/2019, 11:17 am

NO MORE TRIPLE DIGITS! I swear everything in the garden grew an inch overnight. Gonna plant lots of stuff, today. I feel like a kid on Christmas morning. happy turtle

CapeCoddess 8/30/2019, 11:18 am

Perfect after getting almost an inch of rain yesterday!
They're still cleaning up from that tornado five or six weeks ago. I now have three huge holes in my privacy hedge out back. But at least the fallen tree parts are gone. Just have to remember not to run out to the compost pile in my underwear anymore. tongue

Another 10 days of this in the forecast. My cup runneth over. I love you

**AtlantaMarie** 8/31/2019, 7:22 am

Hurricane Dorian is making it's way west & they're still not really sure where it will finally hit. One model shows it coming through Atlanta, although I don't think that will happen. But Yolos may get some good rain.

As of 1 am, NOAA is expecting it to follow the eastern seaboard. So Walshevek, just fyi...

The folk in FL are apparently already expecting the highest tides of the year (called King tides) within the next few days. This little weather system is going to drive them even higher.

I just read that it's reached Category 5! On its way to the Bahamas right now. After that, it's anybody's guess. Sad

180 mph sustained winds! I almost got blown off a hill by a 40 mph gust one time. I can't even imagine anything even half this bad.

countrynaturals 9/2/2019, 10:22 am

By the end of the 10-day, we'll be in the 80s, with lows in the 50s. That's ridiculous for this time of year. crazy!

I guess this will be my last week in the pool. Sad

yolos 9/2/2019, 10:16 pm

Take a look at these projected temperatures. It is never this hot in Sept. I think it is way too hot to plant my fall Broccoli, Peas, Carrots, etc. 97*F is insane for Sept. Maybe the hurricane will bring temps down without blowing us away. I don't think it will come anywhere near us because we are not on the coast but just maybe it will bring lower temps.

I think Mother Nature is losing her mind. Here's ours:

countrynaturals 9/4/2019, 10:18 am

Just for grins, I went back a year to see what was happening the first week of September, 2018. I know what I was doing -- hiding from foul, smoky air. Sad

Here's what TD had to say:

Still hot and humid here in Ottawa Canada. Today 88F (31C) but feels like 104F (41C) with the humidity. Cooling off later in the week with a high of only 66F (19C) on Saturday.

countrynaturals 9/5/2019, 10:26 pm

September 5, and we're getting our first major fire. I was hoping we'd stay lucky, but it didn't happen. This one is south of us, west of Red Bluff, 4300 acres, and 0 containment. It's a long way away and not moving toward us, but it's still worrying. Sad

How's the Weather Where You're At? - Page 23 Fire11

That's the sunset and smoke -- not the fire.

CapeCoddess 9/7/2019, 9:43 am

That's funny, Suz... I was thinking that your photo of the fire looked so much like a sunset and then I read your sentence under the photo. Hope it stays far away from you and that they are able to extinguish it quickly.

Hurricane Dorian is just about finished with us here on the Cape. The rain has pretty much stopped but the winds are still blowing. I'm holding off a few more minutes before I go out and do my errands. Don't want anything to land on my car, but looking out the windows I don't see anything like the debris that we had with the previous tornado.
cheers
