    Hmm 24 years in this house and never even had a sprinkler At least the yard passes the 50ft @ 20mph drive by when it's green.

    I don't use any insecticides other than vinegar, Sluggo and Captain Jack's and those are only in select spots and never near flowers. The flowers on my tomatoes were just closing every day with no fruit forming. I did it by hand 3 days ago and had a couple dozen by the end of the day yesterday so I did it again today.

    That's been a thing in my garden so far too. I was out this morning at 5:30 with a q tip doing it one by one on the cucumbers and tomatoes. Where are all the bees that were here last year?

    I thought yesterday was going to be the nicest day of the year... today is better. This is alright

    46 and breezy, it got cold enough to close the windows and kick the heat on for a cycle around 5am. Looks like the garden dried out from the soaker and the leaf munchin' critters are enjoying it

    Hope ya have plenty of TP

    I'll take the next 100 days just like this please. @forkyfork "too cold..."

    I don't think that even if I special ordered a day it could be any better than this. It sure would be ok with me if the air quality was like this all the time.

    So why don't I believe that it's going to be dry for a week? Nice forecast though. After some of the local stations caught up after yesterdays drenching it looks like it was about 1 1/4".

    Looks like that deluge didn't add up as much as I thought, all of the local stations are approximately. 8" for the day.

    Little fingers extending northward off the main line are skirting just to my south, with passing wetness every few minutes for a minute or less. Interesting little feature to the backside of the line.

    I just looked and all of the stations around me are 25 minutes behind on updates on WU. It looks like it was about the same here but can't confirm that just yet.

    Well that wasn't just "some rain" it is a full on tropical deluge. You know all that rain we didn't get last month? I'm getting it now.
  14. gravitylover
    Looks like I might get some rain here in a minute but then it should start clearing. It's getting dark...
  15. gravitylover
    Not much for rain at all so far, .2". It looks like there's a bit more but not even as much as I've already gotten. The garden got a serious watering though as today was (liquid) fertilizer day so while the soil was soft and it could soak in there well everything got a good dousing from the base. Gonna make me a big ol' salad on Friday I think.

    Nah think... 2020. We're bound to have some volcanic disaster that will make next year the year without a summer. It will most likely happen when the world locks down again in December due to the next wave of the virus so there won't be mass extermination of human life because we'll mostly be at home. It's 2020 you have to think plague, storms, locusts and other earthly disasters...

    Yeah ours is 400 feet deep, makes all the difference.

    Wow my pressure is fantastic this year (so far) and hasn't been a problem since we put in a new well pump 5 years ago. The dark green plant wilt in my garden is terrible and sooo disappointing. I think I'm going to waste some water pressure and build a mister today. I just ran a 10 minute fine mist and everything perked right back up so I think that something that runs about 1gph ought to do the trick.

    Cristobal is a really good looking storm.

    Gotta love the cool dry days, makes it so much nicer to do heavy work around the yard and you get so much more done. I'll take a few dry days after the recent wetness and I like the idea of cooler mid month.
  21. gravitylover
    Nah I like snow and cold. You?
  22. gravitylover
    What happened to that storm line? It was about to dump on me and *poof* and now there isn't a cloud in sight.
  23. gravitylover
    I'm hearing lots of stories about people encountering timber rattlers and copperheads all over the region, bad stuff... I deal with pretty much most critters pretty well but snakes, NOPE.
  24. gravitylover
    Why am I not believing the local forecast showing the next 4 days being near perfect weather? It seems to me that a disruptor like a tropical storm running right into the middle of the country ought to screw things up a bit, no?
  25. gravitylover
    Yup lotsa birds, many didn't leave for the winter. Lots of insects too but that's because of the persistent dampness. What is way down is bees and other pollinators.
