Close here. Celsius makes it sound especially so at 3⁰ (38⁰f).

A week or two ago, I was thinking that the frost free season was definitely early. Haven't changed my mind but we have had a few hints of the normal. I have no plans as of now to change my schedule for 2026 seed starting. However, a cringe-worthy hot, dry Summer becomes more of a possibility with every passing week of Spring 2025.

The tiny seedlings of sweet corn and vining crops in the greenhouse must appreciate the plastic film and insulated north wall. They certainly have it warm in there during sunny afternoons. I have long regretted that I didn't put a larger exhaust fan in the east wall but being able to open the window and door on the west side means that I can keep the interior reasonably cool just by opening the fan cover. I have only run the fan on our one 80⁰f (27⁰C) afternoon.

Normal life goes on .

That was the 9th and the high temperature was 86⁰f (30⁰C) that afternoon. I ran ¾ of an inch of water through the sprinklers on the garden beds that day. It hit above 80f on the 10th and then the cooldown set in; we haven't made it to 70⁰f (21⁰C) since.

But, it has not been cold ... unless you count windchill, darkness and being wet . The temperature hit 43⁰f (6C) this morning for the chillest moments but that's just because the sky is clear. Not to worry, I don't think I saw 30 minutes of sunshine, yesterday. Clouds and more rain⁐sprinkles are supposed to continue for the next 5 days +.

Wishing I had a rain guage or had set out the cake pan . Yesterday's rain was recorded at 2 nearest airports too low by my estimate, here at home. Small storms but rain fell fairly hard several times in this neighborhood. It should have been about ¼" and these recent 5 days should amount to about ¾ of an inch.

Enough — given the coolness and lack of sunshine. I'll give the big pots in the yard some H2O this morning.

We have had a lovely day today. The sun has been lovely. Currently at 5.30pm it's 17c it was a lot warmer earlier. So I made Nancy stay indoors.

Rain all week and occasional sun breaks to race outside to garden clean up. 60’s all week.
