As long as we don't get destroyed while I'm in FL on vacation (May 15th-24th). I don't want to miss any action.
This is going to be a record low year for flooding and severe locally.

Going to harden the tomatoes off starting Tuesday. I plan on getting all our flower beds ready over the course of the week and then planting out next weekend. Sunflowers, pumpkins and squash seeds will be planted this week as well. We are going to experiment with a Russian Mammoth sunflower cultivar and I'm super excited to see what happens. They apparently grow 10' - 12' and have a flower head at least one foot in diameter.

Interesting. I found Sandy to be pretty boring inside the DC Beltway. The only memorable thing about it was the extremely odd nature of the event and the coverage of things elsewhere. The 2018 March windstorm wrecked two houses within a few blocks of my house and had us w/o power for the better part of a day (no outages with Sandy).
On the MD side of the Potomac, there were more power outages from this year's wind storm than from Sandy.

Radishes starting to poke through the garden and garlic is killing it. Love watching garlic grow.

Well that was disappointing last night. Only some brief moderate rain.

Might need a local watch extension down there. Don't think the TOR risk will get north of I-66, but down there it's justified.

The LWX TOR is a confirmed tornado.

Anything less than 4" across a good swath of the region isn't heavy rain. 1" - 2" over 12 hours, especially with us being dry and starting to leaf out, is the height of meh.

I think so many people chose the Derecho for 3 reasons:
- It was relatively unpredicted. There was some wavering meso guidance in the 12 to 18 hours leading up to the event of an MCS coming through, but nothing to the extent that happened.
- It occurred very late at night. Most of the severe weather in this happens before 9pm and this was almost 2 hours outside our climo window.
- The heat that followed the storm was significantly magnified by the event. So many people lost power that it essentially shoved folks back 20 or 30 years to the 70s and 80s when not many people had AC. It was rather anomalous.

Planted potatoes, carrots, and onions today, first time I have ever planted them. I also planted seeds for basil, spinach, and kale. I recently bought a small greenhouse, I will hopefully set that up soon.
Onions will do well as the cool weather will allow them to slowly grow. They do not like a fast transition to hot weather. Carrots are a tad finiky with soil temperature and type. Heavy clay soil that is not properly broken up and aerated will stunt growth. Be careful with the greenhouse once May rolls around. If you do not provide some basic ventilation you will literally steam the plants. It happened to us the other year. I put a small mobile greenhouse on the deck and came home to steamed tomato seedlings.

Derecho hands down.

I've been waiting for this thread...
I'm putting in a fence in my backyard, which is sadly mostly dirt and moss with a little bit of grass. Facing NE and with trees above, I need a good shady grass seed solution. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. My neighbor's lawn is basically all dirt and it hurts my soul.A picture or two would help. I've got some ideas.

With winter now behind us, it's time to get into summer mode and that means: lawn, gardens and pools! Started off yesterday by roto tilling the side garden and looking to put a couple more 4' x 10' raised beds in the next year or so.

- Music garlic (100 cloves)
- Georgian Red garlic (60 cloves)
So far I've ordered these seeds:
- Squash - Waltham Butternut & Long Island Cheese
- Cucumber - Early Fortune & ISIS
- Beets - Bull's Blood & Burpee Golden
- Pepper - Jalapeno Traveler Strain
- Tomatillo - Purple
- Radish - French Breakfast
- Tomato - Berkley Pink Tie Dye , Black Beauty, Kellogg's Breakfast, Rutgers, German Gold
- Poppy - Black Swan

Heh, that western band is literally hugging I-91 for all it's worth.

Man this is a beautiful event to witness, too bad it's not hitting DC -> BOS. Congrats all.

That line is in an area of pretty good surface convergence so it should fire quick. Doesn't look like the environment is too favorable for it east of the mts though. We haven't been able to manage more than 20 min or real sun here in Baltimore today.
