Managed 70F this afternoon even with some dark clouds earlier in the day. Beautiful evening. Very calm and skies have cleared…should easily drop back in the 40Fs…
Warm up should start Weds…with dews increasing late week. GFS has dew points in the upper 60Fs both Thurs and Sat…should feel summery. Cooler next week.
45f and raining . got a few inches of snow overnight but the rain melted it. we are running 15 deg below average this spring. not even thinking of planting veggies yet. might be july before i can put out my peppers!
The rain is coming this weekend for us…looking a given at this point. GFS shows a good amount. May make a run at 80F today and for sure tomorrow (mid 80Fs?) …then back into the 60fs …
I planted out a bunch of sunflowers i had grown out from seed. They were all root bound in the 1 gallon pots.
Got rid of 2 more potted trees (white peach and one other…both were dead)…not replacing–maybe borers got them or just didn’t like winter. Trying to thin container trees.
I also might have a dead spruce that i planted about 6 years ago…weird because it was my best growing spruce (i have 6) …all the other ones all have new green growth…this one has none
Got a little over .1" in a fast moving t-storm last night. Sounds like we’ll get plenty more over the weekend. No 70’s in the 10 day forecast, but plenty of 40s and 50s. That should keep the fruit trees at the slowest growth I think I’ve ever seen. If my Court Pendu Plat blooms this year, it will almost certainly be in June.
Has been chilly here the last couple of mornings, 41 yesterday, and 46 this morning. But, 80s are coming in a day or so. Supposed to rain overnight, hope it doesn’t so I can get some things planted tomorrow.
Had just over an inch of rain earlier…sun came out and its now nearing 80F with dews in the 60Fs…feeling quite summerish out there. Shouldn’t last long. Cold should move thru today…
84F here late this afternoon…had to have AC on in car. Good that its is cooling off because the house was really warm. There is an American toad by my little backyard pond that has been calling out all evening.
Little warm…but it really should have kicked started the plants growth.
