He’s moving in mysterious ways again

When I moved here I started eating a lot of peaches

Sure…we’re stepping down. I get it. But an early CAA freeze with a period of warmth following is just a bit of a bummer for me with my late ripening stragglers. If I can steal another week of ripening time by having a 33° min versus a breezy 28° I’ll take the 33°. There’s plenty of winter and cold to come. Reminder to everyone…I don’t control the weather despite what I wish for.

I do. They’re growing pawpaws up into Minny and Quebec. But a lot of growers are having ripening issues due to some flower bud damage from the late April cold shot that came after a few days of 70s to 80. And there’s a lot of solid peach options for the north now…cultivars that can handle -20s in winter that are also late blooming so they can avoid late spring freezes. They’re just not the ones you’d expect to see at a grocery store. Contender, Challenger, Intrepid, PF-24, Siberian C…heck even Redhaven is decent.

Wish the hard freeze would hold off longer. I still have a couple of unripe fruit on the trees. Under -12C 850s on the gfs. Terrible.

Yeah…good chance for the first CAA mangled flakes this weekend here. Time to get some wood pellets.

Well is getting slow to fill here again. Soil moisture sensor is 37cb which is getting a little dry for the subsurface…even after 1/3” of rain. Usually that value is dropping (getting more moist) as the soil temp steps down in the fall. As usual we get the crumbs to SNE’s feast.

0.34” Need some rain

Warmer lake water ftw

34.9° OVC

Premature accumulation?

It’s up to 63° in here

And yet people are clogging 93N another Columbus Day weekend to see mostly sticks.

Min 37.8° Should be a close call tonight. I don’t want to bring plants in, but MOS is 33/34 at CON and it’s a race to see how much we radiate before the increasing clouds offset it.

I have to replace all of the ones you’re cutting

Weird. Do I show up as still being active in the PM? I may have closed that in March. I haven’t used thst method in awhile for editing titles…but you can go to your first post and click to edit the content and there should be an option to edit the title and subtitle.

Nope. I have unlimited PMs too.

I have no messages from you

If it kills my plants it’s real

62.3/29.9 Beautiful warm day

I mean it’s all relative. It could be +10F for winter here and it’d still be too cold for me. 1877-1878 in DLH Dec +15.6F Jan +9.3F Feb +15.6F (yes same dep as Dec) Mar +11.8F Roughly +13F for DJFM is pretty wild

He does have a sheltered valley there and I’m sure it’s a local min on rad nights. But his temp is still too cold from no proper shielding. If everyone was near 32° there I could probably buy 28ish, but 24° would be a New England min excluding HIE. lol

WWWLT If I did that it’d be 45° in here by Halloween

Mins…MHT is still having issues, but looks like they were around 34°
