I have tarps over many plants outside and brought a few in. Hopefully we can get some things past the next couple of nights to enjoy some of the annuals a little longer.

It does look like it'll stay warm for quite a while after this, so if plants can make it through the next 3 nights covered, they can still be enjoyed for a while later. At this rate we'll have frost by midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monadnocks Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 We picked so much today. There's a planter of swiss chard covered up and some plants got brought inside. Unfortunately, I forgot to pick some basil in the community garden and it's likely to freeze there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burning the dust off the baseboard is like blowing the mice out of the snow guns at the ski areas. Just prepping for winter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Burn 2020 ...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER POTENTIAL THIS WEEKEND... The prolonged dry weather across southern New England has resulted in very low live and dead fuel moisture. With low relative humidity and gusty winds Saturday, any fires which escape initial containment and become established, could potentially become serious. Winds are not expected to be as strong Sunday, but it will still remain quite dry. Consult your local fire warden if planning any outdoor burning this weekend.

The good news is they managed to extinguish the Windham fire a couple months earlier than predicted. A wildfire in a Connecticut state park has been contained after burning for a day. A fire in the Potash Brook area of the Natchaug State Forest in Windham was extinguished in the evening on Thursday, Sept. 17. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
