I was working near my vegetable garden and look was was blowing around me!! ......Poo. It's still AUGUST for pitty sakes!! We've had high temps in the low 60's, and 50's/40's at night for a few days now. I have a heavy sweatshirt and jean on, and I'm still freezing! This is what it's like in Michigan. This year we barely got any kind of a summer at all. ....I'm bitter about it too. Grrr.... >:-[ I want to move to Dixie. :(
Well come on down and bring me a truckload of those lovely cherries that won't grow here. I never get any of those pretty colored leaves either. I planted green beans today and didn't take long to start sweating profusely. I should have at least 75 days before the first killer frost. Nothing has been normal here this year so I still have time to get disappointed.
LOL Twiggy, I would trade you if I could. We'll SEE SNOW sometime in October! Up north here, we have gone snowmobiling over Thanksgiving weekend before!! Then from November until the middle of February we [might] have 5 days of sunshine. Ughhh.... I live in the wrong state.
If you like cherries, here's a great cherry store that's located right on Front Street in downtown Traverse City, Michigan. I shop there often. You might find something you like! :) Enjoy! http://www.thecherrystop.com/
we have friends who live in jupper michigan and from the way he talks about the weather i'm amazed that you guys can grow anything there.
Frost warnings tonite in the upper Great Lakes region.
In August.
I wondered about that. Tonight and tomorrow night it's supposed to get down to 41 here...down state. :-[
40 forecast here in Aurora, IL
I wonder what the record is.
That is just so unfair. This year has offered weird weather for most of us and I sure hope it's an aberration that doesn't repeat.
I might as well just pull up my watermelon vines.
They're not calling for frost tonight, but I covered everything I could anyways. Because I'm a first-time gardener, I don't know how low of temps my plants can take, so I'm not taking any chances.
