can we grow olives next to it?
Weather in Your Garden # 96
Yes, that would be nice, I'll need to get an olive press to make olive oil too! ☺
Dang, I'm hungry now!
51 now going to 71... finally feel good about hardening off my coleus!!!
I'm looking for an ice cream bush myself. Maybe a hot fudge plant to go with it.
We put in the bean plants yesterday at the school garden but held off on the tomatoes(ran out of time actually.) In the back of my mind I'm remembering something about 50 degree nights. We're still in the low 40s at night. Should I put them out and wrap them? I don't know.
if the roots get cold they might sulk .. I am not putting mine in yet
Not here either...i've got another 2 - 3 weeks before I dare to stick anything out.
Rain predicted, and we actually need it.
Its very humis and the BartletPears in bloom make it almost nauseating.
I loved when I stepped out of the car and it smelled so good yesterday!
Its not so good today. That oder mixed with brewed coffe has an amonia edge,not lovely I can tell you.
I can almost tell the blooms are beginning to rot.
Oh, what a beautiful morning!
It's 53, sunny and so beautiful. The color contrasts are so glorious.
All the new coleuses and caladiums will have to stay inside until the nights get warmer, as will the tomatoes and other vegetables that want 55 degrees for the soil temperature.
great day today - was hard to get in the car to go to work
It's been a lovely morning to be out, wearing pajamas, feeding the birds and giving them fresh water. It's just so peaceful out there!
It's presently 57, & mostly cloudy....had to drop the airedale off for his haircut....they moved up the road apiece....he was so puzzled...same folks, new building!
Cloudy and 58. Want to get the Deer Resistant order in the ground before the weekend rain.
Yes, I want to plant a few things so they get the benefit.....guess I'll do it later today, as I'm heading out to lunch later, & don't want to be grubby......
61° & sunny. Iris tour on sun. It says 'scattered showers' they had better be scattered.
70 and sunny today. Yesterday had hail and a down pour at the same time. Really nasty.
68 and sunny....feels much hotter, im in shorts and a tank top working outside. ^_^
Lucy - one of the very nicest tours of gardens we've ever taken was on a day with showers. Have fun, enjoy and don't let any showers dampen your mood.
Mostly cloudy all day 71° right now
Mostly cloudy all day, 65 here. No rain just yucky.
Enjoy the tour, Iris. Jumper, can't believe the hail....just nasty! Cloudy & sprinkly all day today, but I managed to plant & mow the inside area of my veggie garden...the guys can't get their mowers in there, my weed whacker bit the dust.....
Any showers will come when we are doing the 2 hr judges training. I do have a poncho. thank you for your good wishes.
56°, cloudy, going down to 47° tonight.
Did a lot of work in the back yard today, cleaning, transplanting, cleaning, pruning, cleaning, planting there's a redundant theme in there somewhere...
Got some serious planting to do tomorrow am then I'm off to the opening of some gallery works by a friend who is an accomplished Hollywood movie animation artist, (long job title..), in Riverhead it's by invitation only, so I'll have to find something to wear that's cool and trendy like sneakers with a jacket or something and a propeller beanie cap..
Rainy forecast for the next week!
Good, I can use the rain and the lack of sun for awhile until the new plants get settled in a bit.
I want to see a pic of you in the beanie cap
Have fun, WC.....very cloudy right now, showers predicted for ever......
58°, cloudy. Going to 64° with showers starting later tonight.
lol! - I've had that prop. beanie cap for years now, I bought it when I lived in Fla. Every now and then I wear it on occasions where you first meet people in a casual, friendly setting. - 'Instant ice breaker', cuts through all that preliminary mumbo, jumbo stuff and people open up, starts people smiling laughing and talking, etc..
- you know, increases 'approachability' instead of all that stuffy on guard stuff.. (I won't wear it today though, I don't want to distract attention from the host.. although I wish I could just for fun. ☺)
48° & cloudy. Showers predicted for tonight & tomorrow
nice day to work outside today - moved all the dirt and finsihed a very large new bed and planted/transplanted a bunch of stuff - tomorrow rain or shine i will be planting again.
we had a great time at the MA swap at Teri's .... just a few sprinkles now and then... but her set up was perfect.. tables in the garage and 2 tents for plants... and Michele offered to host one at her house this fall if we want
57°, cloudy rain on the way..
Got back from the Riverhead thing, it was nice, there was a film documentary crew there and a newspaper photographer, it had a Beatles theme. One of their song writers was there, as was the artist friend who is famous for Mr Magoo, Frosty the snowman, ( w/Burl Ives), Rudolph the red .. the last unicorn, and a bunch of other animated movies.. Came back and finished the day off by planting an azalea after the tree and the crepe myrtle this am. - So now I'm chillin'! (lol)
woke up and it's pouring ... bummer man.. looks like 5 days of rain just stinks!!.. 58 now going to 70
Raining here too, glad im leaving for the week of rain. Thundershowers are expected daily in VA/DC but I won't melt! LOL
Yesterday was grey and cloudy, but at least not raining. Went to two plant sales (farm project and master gardener) then to a memorial service. Worked outside for two hours in the evening. Put in the tomatoes and peppers because it won't happen if I don't. Bummer.
Today is pouring rain and have to take my mother out. Oh well.
Rain all week forecast here, but night time temperatures are supposed to be above 50
.
61°, wind from the Southeast at 13 mph, light rain
Going up to 66° today with a couple of thunderstorms possible, down to 58° tonight.
Plenty of wonderful rain with nice cool breezes predicted for the week here.
