Weather in Your Garden # 9

Thanks...she was a truly lovely lady.....

Yes, major oops, Marilyn. Sorry to hear of the death but nice to know people who were still sharp at 104. My namesake, the real PIRL, was just past 102 but not really sharp anymore. She still did remember her garden plants.

Etelka - I never heard of the place. Did you try Google?

Victor - opulus compactum - supposed to have fabulous fall color.

Yes, try rubbing compound.

The radar shows a large section of rain about to hit.

Thanks.

The viburnum: http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consumer/factsheets/shrubs/cultivars/viburnum_opulus-compactum.html

Nice. Don't have that one.

Lots of thunder now.

Goof Off works! I was far too tense to drive to get the compound.

About half and half now - overcast and sunshine.

"Compactum" and it still gets to 5 to 6'?

A few coats of wax and it should be almost as good as new... Coppertina = the ninebark coppertina?

75°, H 81%

Whew! I was afraid when it dried it would show but it doesn't. Close call...too close.

Yes! Lost the first one years ago so this one should work out beautifully.

74 and 80% - overcast and radio has some static so the rain can't be far away.

64° & misty. Just under 4" of rain overnight. Grass is wet but can hardly tell otherwise as we have sharp drainage. Our viburnums are finishing blooming. they were here on the grounds when we bought the propery & the arrowood type. A good 6 ft tall now & we built the house in the fall of 1972.

Still raining. 1.54" more so far.

84° 77% humidity, we didn't get anymore rain

No rain but no sun either.

Steady light rain.

LOL spoke to soon, just had a small shower

Seems to have finally stopped. 1.70 inch.

69 with a sultry 97% H.

Been raining on and off for 24 hours. Not a peek of sun. OK - Enuff thank you.

Fairly steady rain - just started five minutes ago.

Mowers are still going!

Exceptionally heavy downpour here now

Here as well. All birdbaths overflowing and all birds silent.

if they open their beaks they'd drown..

Stopped, got 3/4" in 1hr, not bad, a few more of those and everything will be okay.

drizzle, drizzle, drizzle

Went out food shopping after I thought it was over. Got caught in more! At 1.87" now.

Build the ark...fast.

Never made it to the funeral..met my sister at Mom's at 1:30....both of us had trouble driving there....just like a cloudburst, only it wouldn't stop...we decided it was too dangerous driving all the way....don't know how I made it home.....water was raging down the center median of route 8....cars were going only 45-50 mph, but still couldn't see....now, it's getting very dark out again...just won't stop raining! Ark is right!

only .01"

A whole 0.01" Jen?!

Yeah, don't know what I'm going to do with all this water....LOL

More water added today, but at a slow rate & no thunderstorm.

Dark & Raining

dark not raining at the moment.. flood warnings all over again... and again... and again... 65 now going to 79.. scattered storms again today.. even though yesterdays were not so scattered

saw on the news last night we've had 2.63" so far here and more to come - very wet out there - not helping the veggie garden at all.

Same old, same old.

More drops on the way today. Got out there just long enough to get some mulch down yesterday. We thought our internet connectivity was fixed, but nooooo.

Hi Louise! Sorry to hear your internets not fixed yet. :(

It's 55 here and thats it...our high for today! Rain expected.

Dreary again. 0.17" since midnight. 64.

54 here...plants are loving it though they all look perky and happy in my sandy soil. Took the dog for a walk and it was windy down by the water; the rain was coming down in needle-y drops ...it was a very short walk!

Thanks for the heads up Sonora, if it's with you now...I should see it by noontime.

Funny, Pixie. WC is my forecaster for the next hour and Jumper for the next day.

63°, wind from the East at 6mph, H 96%, mist/ light rain

Going up to 75° here, potential thunderstorms anytime.
Same forecast into tonight with a low of 64° expected.

Dreary again, but not raining...yet. Garret is here cutting up part of the maple that fell....also took off some large, lower branches....have my granddaughters running hither & yon in the house!
