What is your weather today?

[462]

June started off by not remembering it's June and it's supposed to be gloomy. Instead, it was a nice mid-September sunny and calm day with a high of 76.

Well...It's Oklahoma; so, the weather sucked about as badly as the State.

Today and tomorrow. Good thing I have reloading to do.

Windy, mostly cloudy, and cold. Got down to 28* last night and expected to be colder tonight. Went and pickued up a light roll of visqueen and covered the raised garden boxes to hold the heat in. All other plants that have not been planted and the hanging baskets came inside.
Looks like it will break by Sunday, 70* by Tuesday.

The temporary mini green houses, plus a load of top soil on the trailer behind garden. Some of the soil is for the mini greenhouse I'm building inside my shop. Will place or tomorrow then fill with the new top soil and manure.

I have 3 4x10 mini cold frames like that. I have the tops on hinges to make it easy to open. Also instead of clear plastic I covered them with agribond. 2 with AG19 and one with AG30. AG19 will allow 90% of the light through and will let rainwater come in. It will give 4 deg of frost protection. AG30 will give 70% light transmission and 6 deg of frost protection. It breaths, so you do not have to remove the cover on a sunny day. I use ag30 to plant a 300 foot row of tomatoes in mid February. I get tomatoes 2 - 3 weeks before anyone else around here.

It freezes in Louisiana?

We have had three or four days of heavy rain the last three or so weeks and it is raining now. It has been a very wet spring here in the Rio Grande Valley and most other parts of Texas. The tanks are full and the creeks are running. Looks like the multi-year drought has been broken for many. It has also produced a bumper crop of mosquitos.

 

[Winelover]

As much rain as we get here in northern Arkansas, mosquitoes aren't an issue. We had more mosquitos in Michigan. Now, ticks and chiggers are a different story. All the time I spent in the northern woods, never had a chigger or tick bite.

You ain't just whistling Dixie on the ticks. I've had 3 so far; only one managed to latch. Mom has had 2. Tasha has had 4 or more. Nexgard pretty much takes care of those.

40% Deet is your friend, I've been spending a lot of time in the woods wrestling with undergrowth & clearing it out. Only a few ticks and one chigger. So far.

Not today though . . . Today was for making sure my favorite Walton family stays supported in the manor in which they have become accustomed.

 

[smokeywolf]

We use everything. Tall rubber "farm boots", Sawyer on the clothes, Deet on the skin, usually a hat.

 

[CWLONGSHOT]

Rain here for a couple days. Hoping it allows for a clear Weekend.
Our Anniversary is Sunday and momma likes the shore.

Partly cloudy, upper 60's might bump into the low 70's this week no wind.

Sunrise at 3:23 am, sunset 12:16 am. Length of daylight: 20 hours and 48 minutes. Still gaining just under 6 minutes a day.

Hot. Humid.

Ian would feel at home. And that sucks.

Here in Southern AZ (not PHX) the car was saying 105-108 degrees when I was out yesterday. We are still very dry as the monsoon season hasn't started yet.

 

[RBHarter]

I'll send you 5 days of ours if you can get it packaged ........

 

[Rick H]

Clear and warm, High of 87 forecast.

Yuck.
I don't like it when it's in the nineties, much less triple digits.

Yesterday was a wild one here. Last week we had two 100+ days and no breeze. Then about midnight Friday the wind started blowing down from the Yukon. Saturday it was 15 knots with 30 knot gusts and dust storms, but no clouds. This morning it was 42* and clouds drifting in from the coast. High today will be about 60*, big change from Friday.

MN is having a spell of hot weather...90s with the occasional 100 thrown in...NOT FUN.
Four days ago, when it started, they thought it'd break Sunday night with a Storm... NOPE, now they are saying HOT all week and into next weekend.
I guess I gotta figure out a reloading project so I can stay inside where the AC is running. I do get up early and get into the garden to do chores for 2 or 3 hours...I am done with that by 9am, that's about when the Sun and heat kick in.

Been raining like a cow peeing on a flat rock all morning!
I'll be glad when it dries out a little.
