The weather around here has been anything but normal. We should be in the 70's in May and then June Gloom next month. That's when we get a lot of on-shore breezes. It will be overcast in the morning until mid-afternoon. Then it warms up. This is when we change clothes at least twice a day as the weather changes.
It should be a dry heat but we do have scattered clouds. Later the humidity will go down to single digits if it records at all. Fire season at it's best.
We stopped by the garden on the way home and watered. Also watered our neighbors gardens as everything looked dry. This is the kind of heat where you can water in the morning and even though it's still damp, the plants wilt from the heat. They perk up as the temperature goes down in the evening.

I have some pics I took from teller .the battery's however died in the camera last night by the time I got home. found my self driving through 30 miles of fog and when I popped out my truck looked like a tower on a mountain top with all the ice growing off of it the snow in teller was as high as my mirrors on the doors of the truck and the temp today is still around freezing i'm starting to expect not to see a summer. Al Gore kiss my A$$
We are getting lake effect snow tonight. Turned the grill and cars white. Late news showed pictures of the sleet covering the streets in Horseheads which is about 40 miles east of here. Even colder tomorrow night and then jump back close to normal by Wednesday.
it was 20n degrees this morning the north wind finally died so it feels better than last night what crappy weather. you guys have been listening to me Bitch for years how global warming is bull now you all are seeing it. get ready for global cooling.
Ava MO hit 35 degrees Saturday morning. An official record in Springfield MO of 37F.
We were colder on the mountain top. No snow, just cold!!!!!!!!
Monday or Tuesday it will reach 90 F.
On the bright side, the three year drought seems to be broken. We lost a lot of our trees, especially in the logged over region of our land. But this year the soil is saturated, the pastures are verdent and the creek is flowing full and cold from the springs.

Just wondering.....Leni......why not have your garden at the house....zoneing laws? seems un handy to have it somewhere else.......
We have a lot growing here at home also. My herb garden is just outside my kitchen. We've planted a lot of tomatoes here along with Swiss chard, garlic and lettuce. My boysenberries are here along with an apricot tree, nectrine, donut peaches and a Satsuma plum.
The veggie garden is in a community garden complex. It is the largest one in the US with almost 900 plots. A plot is 10 X 20. At one time we had eight of them but have cut back to just three. This is where I grow beans, tomatoes, onions, black berries, peppers, and good old zucchini. It is as much for the fellowship as it is for the space. I've been there 36 years and many of the gardeners close to me have been there even longer. A large part of it is a park with a large rose and a cactus garden. It has a building with restrooms and a community meeting room that hosts a lot of garden clubs. The total area is close to 20 acres.
Right around the corner is a farm stand that has wonderful strawberries along with other great produce.
Leni, You live in one of the best produce growing areas in the world.
I'm so envious!
We have a garden for employees behind the factory. I had to import soil from IOWA so something would grow. It is 24' X 24'
My city yard has insufficient sunlight for most things. But, my attached little green house does herbs, some maters and lettuce during winter.

At one time the entire Valley was farm land and orchards. The Army Corps of Engineers built the dam and flood control basin. It is their land and the City leases it. No buildings can be built in the basin. We are on the edge of it where it does not flood. The soil is part of the river flood plain and had a lot of clay in it before we added amendments. In the days before the dam was built the Los Angeles river would wander all over the valley taking homes with it.
