Patti - how exciting to go to South Africa! That sounds like a wonderful opportunity! Happy for you!
Today's Weather in Your Garden - 47
I would have been freaked out a little if I saw clouds like that.
raining here now - held off long enough for the sox to come back against the evil empire
I hear thunder in the distance...here we go again.
It just started pouring.
Wha, I was so afraid they would call it when NY went ahead. No rain here now, yet. I didn't get much done outside today as it didn't clear off until the afternoon. I took some photos and got a bunch of things ready to pop into the garden tomorrow. Patti
60 now going up to 80... more rain today
Damp and foggy, but no rain yet. Patti
63. The rest is still the same...
supposed to have showers here and then clear this afternoon - with possible t-storm/shower early this evening - glad we had some nice rain to water all those gifts from patti - btw patti those oakleaf hydran's must be mutants all have a new leaf on them only after a couple days in the ground? either that or they popped back to life
We had 3 storms roll thru overnight(at least what I had heard) cloudy and nasty again today. When's it gonna end?????
Sun is actually peeping out right now!
Victor,please send it to me, we had monsoon all night and morning
Weather so far this June has not been very kind
Drizzling & 60s---our paper this morn had a quote---"Rainy days were invented so gardeners could get their housework done"---yippee---that's what I'll be doing soon.
wha, it is your green thumb with those little Oakleaf Hydrangea. Here are some of what I brought you. It has been sprinkling on and off this morning, but the fog has lifted. Patti
60 and sunny,hope to weed after lunch. Some of us sew instead on rainy days!
Kinda steamy!! UGH 80 now
green thumb? i kicked a hole with my foot and covered them back up:)
oured rain last night & early this morning. cut a couple of the family peonies & brought them inside so i could enjoy them. Iris flowers waterlogged--there go the chances for end of the yr crosses, especially as my MTB cross didn't take.
Sun is peeking but making it so steamy out there, I can't breathe. YUCK!
Me neither, Jen. I closed up the house this morning and turned on the AC. It's set at 80, but keeps the air dry and it feels so much cooler. What a difference when coming in from outside.
Cool & after 4 days of rain irises are gone bye without a chance to make further planned crosses & see new seedlings.
The fog is moving in. Sprinkled on and off all day, but I got a mess of stuff planted. I tried Wha's planting method. Heel dig, plant drop, toe dirt drag and fill then a stomping. But went back to the trowel very quickly. Patti
Actually saw some sun this pm! 66 degrees right now and saw my first lightening bug of the year tonight.
Heavy fog persisting. Patti
64 now... going up to 76... they are saying possible thunderstorms today... going to squeeze as much time as I can in the yard today
I awoke to sun shine. SSSHHHHHHHHHHH! Don't tell MN please.

Same weather here Patti.
Been out weeding some, small snails about 1cm are eating up foliage of the dahlia, grr, wonder what I should do to get rid of them besides picking them off.
A liberal amount of garlic, butter and away they go!
My chef son's uses Basil fed snails in his dishes in New Orleans. But check here first. This was a good article. Patti

Patti, thanks,great article just read it. Though I enjoy eating escargots I don't want to eat those tiny, miserable pests. Never had them before like this. Off I will go with garlic, good thing I have plenty of that plus butter.
well I only got 3 hours in so far... it's pouring
:(
65 and sunny. Just got done with some sewing, now time to weed!
75 and muggy. Anyone remember what a clear sky looks like??
It reminded me today, Victor
Just a tease, though, right?
Raining again. 70.
No Victor, nothing but sunshine since I got up at 5:45
