Today's Weather in Your Garden - 67

63 & sunny sea breeze which is making it feel cooler.

63°, wind W 4mph, sunny

Same here, sunny & 63..beautiful!!

GORGEOUS!!!

Low 60s & very good weeding day. Got a small bucket of shepard's purse out of the garden & it didn't start shooting its seeds until near the end of the session.

45 now going to 60... and the monsoon has begun

Partly cloudy today with high of 65, the monsoon will arrive here tomorrow.

Sunny out highs in the 60's. The monsoon gets here later in the day.

Cloudy, 50 degrees with a SW wind. Rain just on the doorstep should start any minute now. Same deal for the next few days.

Overcast. Spitting a bit at the moment, but not enough to call it rain, yet.

Had a relapse and spent most of yesterday sleeping. Not feeling great today either, so I am sort of glad the day is an inside day. Plus I got a bit of Poison Ivy on my hands, not bad as I caught it early. DH just told me that he found that one of the trees we saved is a native Shad, Amelanchier canadensis and it is now blooming. Patti

48 and wet. I am suffering with PI also, Patti. Driving me nuts.

48°, wind NNE 0.5mph, rain

I've never gotten PI, I hear it can be very irritating.

Certainly can, if you are sensitive to it. The itch comes and goes, but when it does, you want to rip your skin off.

Jezz, that sounds terrible! (I'm staying away from forests and hanging out near the beach!) lol!

- Hope both of you feel better soon!
(must be tough sleeping with that...)

Thanks - it can be.

Light rain overnight. Cloudy and damp today 50 high of 58

53*F light rain, that was needed and will also help the seed I've planted in the last few days. Accumulation of 1 1/2"s expected pver the next 2-3 days, should be a good slow soaking..
Victor, Have you tried Domeboro? It helps dry mine pretty good. I use it as a solution and mix fresh each day, some make a paste. Whatever works, right? You may have to ask at the pharmacy counter for it. I get PI from the dormant vine. I've taken the shots and oral treatment, it may have lessened the intensity but I still get it. Ric

No, I have not, Ric. Thanks.

I had to have a cortisone shot & a Zip pack already because of PI on my face...didn't scar, but arm is a mess. Patti & Victor, hope you're both on the mend. Raining lightly but steadily here....the gardens were bone dry....Iris, I also got the shepherd's purse out in time this year....I hope.

Oh - bummer, Robin. The Tecnu paste helps, but would have been better if I caught it the first day.

I read somewhere that Tecnu acts as a barrier, and so does IvyBlock....will have to get some.

Have not heard of its use as a barrier. I do know about IvyBlock, and have it, but have not used it yet.

52 and rain today. It had stopped, so DH and I went and got some plants. Of course it started again when we headed home.

Rain just started coming down really hard here.

thunder & lightning here

great day here - sorry to hear about the PI!
