IOD continues to climb and looks to go even higher. Implications for early winter seem likely.

Thanks, that is a great point ! I read crab grass sends out some sort of phenol that makes the grass around it not grow as much, but so far crab grass is under control here, with the pre-emergent I but down. Seems my biggest issue this year with the lawn will once again be lawn fungus because of this dew point at night deal. Will reseed in the Fall. but all in all I am happy so far to still have green grass on July 6 th.

Many cucumbers this morning in the garden, wow, I guess the rain maybe, birds after tomatoes though, so I purchased a bird netting because the ribbons and aluminum squares flying in the breeze is not really working at keeping all the various birds away. Its always something ! Yum, your sald sounds great ! My wifes fav are the cherry tomatoes !!! She told me if the birds eat them I am in the dog house . LOL ( more like sweat house ) !

Some folks scalp the grass when they cut it , and wonder why it browns and causes stress on the lawn. I always cut on the highest settings.

Same here, eggplants finally getting bigger with a few flowers. All in all, so far, so good.

Grass has gone brown, who knows how long it will last, except to say it looks dry for a while. Tonight's storms be a drop in the bucket. This time of year the sun can wipe out soil moisture in minutes. Meanwhile, all the straw is out of stock in my area, wanted to add more to the garden, now have to wait. And, for the Crepe Myrtle may try neem oil. I really don't want to use anything on it, but at this rate all the buds will be gone, I hate Japanese bettles.

I read we are nowhere near the low point of the still progressing solar minimum.

Record Number Of Top 10 Warmest Months Since 2010
frd replied to bluewave's topic in New York City Metro
@bluewave Do you feel the general warmth and especially the warmth in the recent fall months, Sept and October mostly, has been associated with the above average SST off the East Coast and the nature of the WAR. A sort of feedback taking place possibly which also plays a role in moisture transport up along the East Coast and warmer over night lows via higher dews. Any thoughts? Thanks ! -
Just got back from taking a walk with the dog in this wonderful weather, love it ! Measured about 3.25 inches here so far with very light snow still falling.

What, if any consequences does this have for high lattitide blocking in October and even beyond, in and around this region ? Also, recently looking at the SST changes in the Gulf Of Alaska they are rising . Would any of this warmth cause and or re-inforce a + PDO in developing in the month(s) ahead.
