    Perhaps I'm being a bit too pessimistic (there's a first), but it seems like temps on MOS are trending down below 80 after tomorrow and the POPs are more in the 50% - 70% chance now instead of the 30% to 50% they were a few days ago.

    Rest of the week looks to turn cooler and wetter. Shocker. We might be struggling to get out of the 60s this weekend.

    Pleasant Valley Fire Department in Carroll County has a good catch and release lake in front of their fire station.

    Replaced the blade, spark plug, filter and drive belt on my Toro mower. Also changed out the oil...it's like a brand new machine.

    Starting to think this might be the theme of the summer and we don't see any big heat. We're almost in June and it's been really cold and gloomy overall.

    Over performed on temps today. Grids had 78 for Reisterstown and I'm sitting at 82. Farmers are really behind though with cold soil, so we need this warm weather. Corn, squash, pumpkins and melons aren't even planted yet.

    We're now in summer...frogs crawling up the back sliding glass door, singing to their hearts delight, and the cats are having a freak out.

    0.5° KDP showing some burts of heavy rain/larger droplets across the state today. Hope we can manage at least a half inch of rain, my tomatoes and marrows really need it.

    Since that fluke event in Januar 2016, we've had total suckage during winter in these parts.

    After years of dealing with needles killing our back lawn, clogging the pool/gutters, and ruining the deck, we got the approval from our neighbor to remove about 10 large pine trees from the fence line. Hopefully in the next two weeks they will be gone.

    Smoke from NJ wildfires is being pushing into northeast MD this evening. Several smoke investigation calls into Harford, Baltimore and Carroll 911 centers. Also a spike in low level particulate has been observed at several air quality stations in the Baltimore metro area.

    06z GEFS mean precip for Thurs - Fri is 1" - 2" for I-95 west. 12z GFS op with 1" - 1.5" rain Thurs - Fri for I-95 west. Given our track record of late, we can probably expect 15 min of drizzle.

    This is a great period of weather for transplants...cool, cloudy. I've never lost a transplant when we have weather like this. A good shot in the arm will be taking some of the Miracle-Gro water soluble tomato fertilizer (yes this, not the blue stuff) and watering your transplants with this mix in about a week. It has a lower nitrogen content so it will help promote root and stem health. One good application should do, and that will bolster the plant(s) before the hot weather comes in.

    You can never post enough pictures like this in the garden thread.

    Ours was approved in Baltimore County...it has to be at least 5 feet from the property line, and at least 10 feet from and overhead power line.

    How large of a pool in diameter and how deep are we talking about?
  19. Eskimo Joe
    So this is where our rain went.
  20. Eskimo Joe
    EURO is really screwy with rainfall beyond D3 this spring it seems.
  21. Eskimo Joe
    Yup. Looks like this whole week of wet/cold weather is going 'poof' real fast.

    Going to try Loch Raven reservoir tomorrow. No better way to social distance than on a kayak.
  23. Eskimo Joe
    That's all we're doing patch management.
  24. Eskimo Joe
    Thinking tomorrow is a good day to set down more grass seed and patch the lawn a bit more before we get a week of wet weather.
  25. Eskimo Joe
    Definitely a step in the right direction for rainfall next week.
