And 89 yesterday. That's too danged hot for this time of year. My poor seedlings are panting and my rabbits aren't too happy either. Looks like no relief in sight till the weekend. Starting off to be a crazy year weatherwise.
Supposed to be 92 degrees today

Its been in the 80's here on and off for a couple of weeks. Its ridiculous! I can sympathize... though its weird how it goes from cold, snow nasty to HOT and no in-between here as of late! :/

I agree it is starting off to be a crazy year. It never got out of the 40's yesterday, high or low. And even more rain. Another 2.8" in two days, on top of what I already had. Today, warm and sunny. I can finally start to harden off the tomatoes and peppers without them getting drowned.
I'm hoping maybe Thursday to be able to get in my garden and harvest some of the early stuff that has been ready without sinking up to my calves in that wet clay. I sure don't need to be walking in that clay when it is this wet. I see that the raised beds have one advantage over a "regular" garden when it sets in this wet. At least you can get to the produce without doing a lot of harm.
I'm griping but not really complaining, compared to what others have gone through. All I really have is an inconvenience.

Ridgerunner I'm with you on that. No matter what happens in the garden I still have a house and that's more than some unfortunate souls have after those storms.

That's about the same temperatures as here, but this is normal for us, just the humidity that makes it unbearable.hoodat said:
So much work to do, and so little time to spend outside.
We desperately need rain.
I have just set up my new rain catchment from the roof and want to get it filled. All our wells are getting lower and lower.

Our problem is the other extreme. there is almost no humidity and the air is full of pollen. Even my rabbits were sneezing this morning.
