How's your weather?

We might get some of that rain from the latest hurricane, but I'll believe it when it happens. Up to 38 (or is it 39?) days w/o rain, and more heat - 81° forecast high, and even when it gets much cooler, it's still above average. This is good, in a way, since things are still growing, but they do need water.

We're supposed to get 3-5" of rain starting later today. It's coming up from the Gulf, generated by that new hurricane that's trying to form down there. The rain will be appreciated!

Update: Ended up with 2.6" from yesterday afternoon until now. Maybe a tad more this afternoon but some places across the Savannah River in SC got up to 13" last night. The weather alert was going on and off all night with flash flood watches for there and some areas about 30 south of here.

The sun is out and the birds are singing.
I have no idea what they are but they're noisy little fellers.
They make a constant high low chirp.

Gale force winds here today are gusting 80-110 kph/ around 50-70 mph. Some outages from that.
No snow in our area, glad to see.

Garden is kaput
I ripped up 5 pepper plants to try to grow indoors for next year.
Most were from last summer that I overwintered indoors.
Stems get tree like

Got to 60° today, but I woke up to the smell of smoke, around 4 am, but I quickly learned that it was outside, and there was a thick haze, even at 7 am, and I got a phone warning from someone in the county, about the smoke, and that it should lift, around noon - better, but still there. Rain is supposed to get here by 9 pm, with the temperature rising! Up to 70° again, but later in the week, with lows in the 50s, I may get my first freeze, so I'll be draining the pipes out to those irrigation lines, only opening, if needed, and when warmer.

I got only .21" here overnight - not much, but something, at least, to wet the surface.

It's already above the high yesterday - 62°, getting to 70°.

It’s raining this morning! Prediction is 0.15 inches today, another 0.15 inches Wednesday, and 0.05 inches on Friday. Time to sow wildflower seeds! Highs in the low 60s.

A predicted low if 34F on Sunday. And I still haven’t finished chopping up the tomato jungle. I’ve filled 4 compost bins so far. Whenever I go to the garden, I chop more to top off the bins. With all the green material, they usually sink several inches a week.

Nice here. 83° sunny and dry. Trend is for a very slight cool down over the next few days, but continued sunny and comfortable.

Tomatoes are worth growing for the compost biomass alone!
