After another windy day!

The wind died with the setting sun, clouds cleared away, and ..

. it was 23°f this morning.

No. Everything on their own outdoors have had repeat temperatures in the 20's, lately. Resistance has built in.

The temporary hoop house over a couple of beds, for sure, had freezing in there. But, it has only cool season veggies. The little plants have been been in the beds for about a week, watered in good - Asian greens, broccoli raab, etc. There is little chance for it to warm above outdoor temperatures with wind and cloudy afternoons but the plants are fine.

The greenhouse temperature is A-ok and that is where most of my focus has been and not putting a heater in the hoop house. Still have peppers and eggplant in the house waiting for their first visit to the greenhouse .

Edit: 46°f at 1:30pm with the greenhouse vent open and exhaust fan on since a little before noon. the hoophouse has door & window completely open. it's a very sunny day and little wind. yay!

Temperate for us, altho freeze warnings in the early a.m.'s. Yes, the bird bath layer of water was frozen. Later this week we will zooooooom up to the 80's and then settle at the high 70's. Time to turn on the watering system. Ka Ching goes the monthly budget.

Now it is kick the air conditioning down because it's what, hot? Looks like 60's & 70's in Dallas but thunderstorms ... wind gusts 20 to 25. Does this cause a problem?

wind gusts above 35 here again today

Average Spring temperatures here with Lots of wind. Should help, however, bc it is getting close to frost temperatures tonight, but the breezes should keep the frost off of my peach tree and pear tree blossoms.

Oddly mild spring here. Highs in the 60s and 70s And lows in the 40s and 50s.

If we can just be shed of this wind. Forecast makes it look possible!

Zooming to 70's, the first of the year. Yes, it is very dry. DW was surprised to see some automatic sprinklers on, during yesterday's drive home from her 2nd vaccination. (Sprinklers doing their thing in watering asphalt and passing cars.)

I felt like pointing out the stress showing in the lawngrass near the backsteps. Yes, it is partly because of digitS' big feet but snow, hail, rain -- we haven't had 1/2" of water over the last 6 weeks.

i wonder if they still have some residual damage from the previous big storm that they're still having to fix? winds of that speed shouldn't be doing that much damage.

around here the power doesn't usually start flickering until about 70mph aka 113kmh.

cold and a bit rainy/snowy here today. i am not going anywhere. finally can cook some spicy food i like since Mom wants to run errands and doesn't need me to be with her this time.

looks like i will wait another week at least before planting peas... i haven't looked lately but the strawberries shouldn't be in any danger yet from frosts, but now we have some in the overnight forecasts for the coming week.

cool this morning, but i hope to get out later today for some dirt therapy.
