Gosh! You have made me feel a whole lot better about the weather here! Truly, I feel for you all -- well all the ones who aren't happy little gardeners at the moment.
We just have very high winds & no rain for weeks BUT IT IS WARM & we haven't had a frost for about 2 weeks so . It is so depressing to know you just can't do anything in the garden especially when you have a stack of plants getting leggy.
I've worked in Houston several times ( for the Houston Ballet). I was amazed by the humidity, so enervating! The rain was torrential ! Living there would finish me off -- but the people were great.
Hey Digits - I live in Montana for the last two years so I am quite aware of the dryness. I could put that heavy duty Eucerine cream on twice a day and still be dry and itchy. I totally dig the humidity down here. But you have the Mountains and pristine streams and elk and deer and I could go on and on....
3 to 6" of rain today - it's been pouring for about an hour! Thunder, lightening, heavy rain!!!
I wanted to dig up my potatoes this week - looks like I won't be doing that! My beans are turning yellow and so is my squash.
We saw the sun briefly on Saturday while I was painting the new coop, then it started thundering and sprinkled a little, thank goodness it stopped and the paint dried.
All that money and hard work on my garden is down the drain.
