Today's Weather in Your Garden - 45

I'll trade you, Deb.

she said some stuff in there was moving and she thought she was going to be bit - can't say i did not warn her

Still raining. Hope that she did not get bitten.

49 now and still drizzling ... going up to 69 supposed to finally clear up later

Gonna see some sun today! Well today and then it disappears again

yeah it's supposed to rain some more here thursday, friday and some more on sat

really soggy out there

Slugs will come alive - good grief

Rain and clouds, go away,

My seedlings need some sun today.

(Is this what they get for weather in Seattle?)

More gloom. 52.

I guess I take this rain over the wicked(and not in a MA good way) storms they are having in the south.

54 and cloudy, but supposed to clear and close to 70.

Hi BA_6A, I don't think I've seen you post before. In case I missed it - Welcome from south Jersey. Enjoy this forum, this is a great bunch!

Thanks, Jan23, I'm an older, casual gardener; there are some really knowledgable gardeners, including some serious specialists, here at DG. I should've joined this site years ago, for the tremendous wealth of information, and the friendly folks as well ;)

Hi BA and welcome!

Welcome BostonArea_6A, you'll get addicted real fast!

hi ba, welcome

Welcome Boston 6a from north shore 6a. We needed the moisture & my SDB seedlings seem to be staying closed. Ran out in the twilight Sun night & grabbed some pollen. DH complained the grass is wet & went to get a haircut.

Welcome BA!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, everyone! What a friendly bunch! I guess we all have 2 things in common: we all love plants, and we all live in the famous "changeable weather" of the Northeast.

Coffee tastes a little better in the morning when there are blooms to look at, even if it's on the computer, and someone from zone 10, lol!

Bill, I'm so glad you survived the excursion!

Welcome to the 'family', BA!! Be aware ... we tend to 'grow' on you (pun intended, of course)

Today is gloomy with peeks of sunshine. Perhaps we will have more sun later on today. I'm looking forward to watching everything burst forth with great joy in the garden.

Currently:
Cloudy
50°
Wind: NNW at 3 MPH
Humidity: 87%
Dewpoint: 46°
Pressure: 30.08 in. and steadying

We'll have some more showers overnight. I like it when it rains at night. It's so calming.

60's and overcast. We have more rain coming. I have azalea starting to bloom as well as SDB's out.

Sun trying to make an appearance. 60 and overcast. Annoying that with all these rainy, yucky days, we have not gotten that much rain!

Hey Jumper thanks! the sun is actually peeking.

Daffodila going past, wet dwarf iris in bloom. high 40s at the moment.

It has started to rain here. It's also cooling down some.

Ok that was short lived sun is now gone. Nice while it lasted.

We saw some sun---yahoo---I took the dogs for a walk---now it's cloudy again----don't need more gloomy days---May is supposed to be the Queen of the months.

No matter what the weather, May is my favoritist month!

Sun came out so took seedling pictures. Could not do crosses as pollen was wet as were the flowers.

BA - quite right about Seattle. We had rain yesterday, rain today, rain tomorrow. Pretty much raining until July. yay.
This is what I look at in lieu of blue skies:

OOOHHHHHHHHHHH Blue Poppy! I've had no luck growing from seed...may have to brreak down and buy the plant. BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!

It's such a deep blue! It's gorgeous!

Katye, please save that photo!

The lighting, and detail on the bloom, are exquisite!

I agree, it's gorgeous!

Yes - great shot, Kate - especially with the red JM nearby.

I've never seen one growing---just beautiful!

Meconopsis are not easy from seed - need some stratification.
I have this one - 'Lingholm', one surviving betonicifolia, 3 nepaulensis and a spicatum, which is melon colored. They can grow well here, but a wee bit fussy.
I feel very satisfied seeing Lingholm bloom - it's the same blue that our sky is SUPPOSED to be.

boy did I have a bad sleeping night... it stinkin poured last night... another week I am very happy for the sub-pump we installed!.... we have an urban & small stream flood advisory... sounded like a hurricane last night... and we are not done with the rain yet

Pouring in western MA too. I broke down and planted the Saxton dls that arrived yesterday and won't have to water them! Hope they won't float away.

no kidding... good luck to the newbies!

We've gotten about a 1/2 inch overnight, a light, gentle rain here, I still walked the dog in it.
