Good morning Julian. I usually browse the very fine New England threads. The climate, there, has taken a turn for the worse (ref COVID) the moderators, to their credit, have it under control. I, as I posted there, started reading the posts out loud. Unbeknownst to me my daughters pug was listening. I recorded his reaction. ( my felines could care less).

BxEngine Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 More rain for me maybe? Even tiny Rockland has been a case of the haves and the have nots pretty recently. If i can get another 1/4” from a thunderstorm my yard will probably never look like a typical august this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much caffeine from coffee enemas, just straight water now. It was 98/80 (allegedly) about an hour ago before some clouds moved in. Absolutely intolerable.

Your tempting a rather unpleasant ghostly visitation from the Chock Full Of Nuts jingle lady. The company in those days had to publish disclaimers that their coffee was pure. That there were “ no nuts” in their coffee. Not sure how this information affects your post. I just couldn’t help myself. As always ,,. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 High of 91 here today, 79/73 currently outside, inside its 79 downstairs… I’m sitting against an ice pack to cool off while my mother in law is in sweats and a long sleeve thermal top…. Heading to OBX Saturday morning and thankfully it looks like we won’t have any evacuation concerns next week, a ber6 long over due week away from here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nearby thunderstorms and cloud cover held the temp which was a nice relief. Currently 80/72 here. Enjoy OBX hopefully Fred won’t bother you much down there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's shocking how quickly 15" of rain in July just vanishes into the annals of history. I really don't have any way to know what's up with the well until it's too late. The depth it goes to though is about where the local reservoirs are at and they're bankfull so my hope is always that I'm tapping that resource. I'm probably wrong... 14 hours ago, BxEngine said: I havent had to water mine in over a month now i think. If last nights storm had missed i probably would have this morning. Second light soaking at about 6 am helped too. I haven't even had a quarter inch combined for the month. I've had to water just about every day.

BxEngine Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Took the kids to a local state park last night to see if we could see any of the meteor shower. Its nowhere near an ideal spot, but its better than driving 2 hours to the sounds of my kids whining and then sleeping. Anyway…we probably saw 15-20 in the 45 mins or so we were out there. the storms over PA were still west of scranton at the time, but the lightning was enough to pulse through the sky constantly. First time i can recall seeing it that bright and that frequent from storms over 80 miles away. Was cooler to watch than the meteors. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Sorry all, I've been hiding on the beach on Fire Island. I gave the garden a good soaked before sunrise Friday morning hoping my kids would water this morning or it would rain today. Apparently it rained last night?

ForestHillWx Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Dry cold front down here. Was hoping for a shower. Garden is pumping down here. Zucchini/squash/pole beans. I planted tomatoes late, so I’m about a week out. Also the lantern flies are at plague level. Last year they set up shop, this year they are into the black walnut. I’m going to start using sticky traps and mount them to trees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love seeing lightning in one part of the sky and meteors in a different part of the sky, thats quite the sight! One year I even saw meteors through a thin fog on top of a mountain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BxEngine Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 My cucumbers are still going strong along with my tomatoes and basil. Peppers and the other herbs arent doing so hot. Finally had to water everything the other day, looks like ill be watering again shortly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 The heat over the weekend seems to have kicked things into high gear here. Tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, beans and melons are going crazy. The herbs that haven't gone to flower are very happy and the flowers are incredible all over the yard. Once I got some water into stuff they all got happy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the same and even my meager growing attempts in the Postage Stamp went through a renaissance of virility. “Wow” I’m going out there and turn the hose on myself.

gravitylover Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Flooding - check Tornado warned - check 1.5" so far, gutters overflowed, street was a river that completely overwhelmed the storm drains and ran over into the downhill side yards. I'm afraid to look at the garden... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
