Why would anyone take out AC in Augdewst? All that work un and then installing again as it gets hot next month 

Meh. It’s over man. Maybe we get a dewy day or two in September, but the warmth should be manageable. I don’t like it either. I want the dews and rain chances right into Halloween, but this has been one of those 10% chance, odd ball summer stretches that the COC lovers enjoy.

I keep mine in until late September or October for the random hot days but still can put a fan in or open the other windows..The heat is done and it looks like the dews are gone.. enjoy it!

So far in August I have had .007" of rain.  In July I had 1.43"  but it was all nickels and dimes with no one shower bringing more than .25".   For June, I had a bit more than 3" but half of that was in the first week of the month.  

Our grass is brown and shrubs are wilting.  Even lilacs.  Lots of early leaf drop too.  I'm glad we went into the summer with the water table being okay but the surface is amazingly dry.  I think about farmers back in the day without deep wells and no way to irrigate crops.  It must have been so scary back then, worrying about having enough food to last the winter.

Yeah it must be rough there with the SW facing hillside. At least dormancy is coming soon.

Ooof. Thinking dormancy on 8/24 is brutal. Not sure how you guys deal with that… I have many flowers that just started blooming again with the summer heat stress behind. Moving now to the second peak for garden scapes after summer heat stress and before first frost. The drought though is keeping the water bill up but at least it’s without the high energy bills. 

With how beautiful and AN our falls have been dormancy isn’t on my mind until mid November.

Most of the trees and natives are done growing and are lignifying. They’re still photosynthesizing and putting that energy into the buds and root growth, but the top growth is about done. The transpiration demands are lessening as well with the lower sun angle and shorter days. That’s really all I’m talking about.
