#NoPoles Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 My indoor sown cukes failed miserably during the dry May so I had to direct sow a new batch in early June. They're up, but only a few inches tall. Like you said, everything looks stunted, but I did notice some obvious growth overnight last night. I started a late pumpkin patch last week and went from no seedlings yesterday afternoon to about 15 this morning. My mammoth sunflowers are finally up over a foot too. It could be worse I guess (1816...lol). For Ginxy...my highest 6" soil temps by July 5th since I moved here... 2007: 74F 2008: 74F 2009: 71F 2010: 75F 2011: 74F 2012: Missing Data (lightning strike) 2013: 77F 2014: 76F 2015: 70F So this actually puts me behind 2009 soil temp wise. Thankfully that should change over the next couple of days. lol, all this great info you provide and all i can focus on is this: 2012: Missing Data (lightning strike) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I wonder what that high altitude haze is out there today. Most MOS sites busted 3 to 5 too warm today, but the blue has been marred by a milk... No mention of smoke in AFDs but it smacks of it - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Crazy amount of smoke out there on satellite. From today, yesterday, and a few days ago: Interesting that NWS isn't mentioning this... or if so, apparently sparingly reasoned into their philosophies for temps. 'Course, not absolutely clear elevated smoke is why MOS was a few ticks warm today, but it is as good an explanation as any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 Anyone smell the smoke today in the air? Every time we mixed a little wind to the ground you got this huge smell of wood burning smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Anyone smell the smoke today in the air? Every time we mixed a little wind to the ground you got this huge smell of wood burning smoke. Yes!

Damage In Tolland Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 That was the warmest Euro run/ENS package we've seen in quite sometime. Hopefully some semblance of that verifies. Might be able to pull off a few 88-92 degree days at BDL early this week and again next weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I said AFDS... This is a bulletin and it is what it... But I didn't see enough mention of this as a factor that might bust MOS be as much as 5F or more, in and around the area. There's been some acknowledgement of its presence, ...perhaps I merely missed it but I didnt' read any anticipation of it as a limiting factor. I am not even sure it is a limiting factor, but we have pall sun and now hi's less than guidance. Seemed an interesting question - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed an interesting question - Oh yeah I wasn't trying to reference that part of your post...sorry, I was just posting that as an interesting graphic to the board regarding "I wonder what that high altitude haze is out there today?" I didn't even realize MOS was that warm for today. It seemed about as forecast up here with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s under 1,500ft up in NW New England. But again I wasn't paying too much attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But again I wasn't paying too much attention. To be fair .. .I noticed this in the NAM/GFS for KFIT, KBED and KBOS. Damn, kick me now ...cuz I wonder how pervasive it is. Twister's the site I normally use for MOS/FOUS products and it only goes back -1 interval for MOS. ALB and MPV were 85 and 81 for highs respectively, on the 00z guidance from last night, and they both fell short... Not by a lot, but it seems a consistently a small to moderate warm bust is prevalent here. I think it's gotta be the smoke - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahk_webstah Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Dude, you just nailed it! I put my toms and cukes in over a month ago, and though they don't look terrible in terms of leaf health and color ... they have grown ...maybe a 1/4 " - really. Not much hyperbole there; they just are utterly stunted. In fact, the toms have started putting our fruit, which also are like micro sized. The beef-steakers are like marbles... f'g pissed! , I plant my garden with black plastic covering the soil. Not only does that control weeds, it also heats the soil. My stuff is growing pretty well, even the tomatoes. This week everything is taking off and growing very quickly. Even at 70 or 75 degrees during the day, the black plastic gets very hot when the sun is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian5671 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 upton has boosted temps here for this week quite a bit, they had near 80 most days and now we're mid to upper 80's. Still looking for that elusive 90 degree day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Tomatoes finally tall enough to tie to the stakes, picked some pac choi for a deermeat stir-fry Friday. No "knee high by the 4th of July" this year - corn along Rt 2 in Farmington was barely approaching knee high yesterday, if it were my 7-YO granddaughter's knees.

I noticed that Saturday on my way to the Farmington parade, corn is definitely behind schedule up there. That stretch of Route 2 approaching Farmington with Mount Blue in the backdrop is definitely one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't done enough research on it to find anything OMRI approved. We'll see how it goes the next couple weeks. I considered mulching with some coconut coir.
