Weather Where You Are

Almost exactly the weather we had here in Eastern Iowa!

I SAW the snow on TWC radar on Friday morning!

Perfect 72* weather. Thought monarchs were done but nope. Found 2 caterpillars.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never seen them in my life! So cool!

This chrysalis is on our strawberry netting. Fortunately the kids haven’t seen it.

And when they devour my milkweed I gently move them to a fresh one.

For a person who thinks they're having a heat wave at 67 you must be dying Mary!

Oh, nice caterpillar.

I'm bracing myself for Friday's 75°! Good thing I workout in the morning and not evening. I'd be sweating buckets! haha

Rain yesterday; sleet, a passing blizzard, and gusty winds today. The weather forecaster gave us a "slight chance" of both, they continue to under-estimate our precipitation. The October "Indian summer" is a no-show this year - and that is when I would normally put my garlic in. No dry spell for over 6 weeks. Temps are dropping & the ground is still too wet to till, I'm running out of time. The forecast now says no more rain until next Saturday... I hope that's true, but after the last two months, my optimism is waning.

Could you plant them in containers outside? Garlic is such a tough plant. I have been known to plant in November with a pick to make holes in frozen soil. They grew and did fine in spite of my less than stellar gardening.
