Why is everyone so against heat all of the sudden? 

A heat wave is pretty significant in September if it verifies, and we have the potential to rack up more 90's than we did in August. 

it's funny how I post 5 day ensemble means showing extreme warmth across more than half the country and people interpret it as one day of 90

Swamp ass. 

I even shave my ass to help combat the never ending battle with swamp ass in NJ CFa subtropical summers. 

I vastly prefer the dry, frozen tundra-ass one gets in a proper winter over the wet, humid subtropical marshland of summer.

Heat sucks

And if this were winter with extreme cold departures everyone would be drooling and going nuts, not discounting it as a couple cold days.

most of the big heat has stayed to our S and W the whole summer so yeah might be one day of 90 here...

In a warm winter like last year I would not be buying it-yet we saw the same maps week after week showing cold moving east for it to only end up trending warmer as we got closer....

Good late morning everyone. Rob makes a good point, 4 posts seven weenies. It’s just like training camp for the cold season. The games like the weenies are for practice. Stay well all, as always ….

Third season gardening.  This upcoming hot week hurried me to get seeds in the ground for fall lettuces, spinach, and other greens, plus radishes and sweet turnips.  Some I planted last week have sprouted nicely.  Barring an early September frost (I remember September 9 one year!) I will have good pickings until December for these, and throughout winter, for a few things like the spinach, upland cress, and (especially) mache lettuce, aka corn salad, which grows all winter and is not one of the bitter greens, but a mild, pleasant, though small-leafed, green.  I am trying a couple of varieties of truly cold-weather lettuces this year, from Germany and Austria, according to the seed companies.

I have too much shade in my plot to grow a lot of the standard summer vegetables, though cherry tomatoes, pole beans, and cucumbers don't need too much. But in winter, with leaves gone and the sun at a low angle providing a lot of hours on my SE facing garden, there's a lot one can do to prolong the season.  It's fun to try various things.
