My Schreiner's order has shipped. I'm not sure, if I'd requested shipping this early, or if was due to all that high heat, out West.
(At least by Sunday, will have some relief from rather recent, higher than usual temperatures, above average for here.)
I'm not so certain, I like all these "Climate Change" differences. As, even this Spring was two months straight, "drought", after just having record precipitation levels (within top ten, in Jan. & Feb.)
Two consecutive months each, of entirely complete opposites just to start out with, for nearly 1/3 of this year.
Besides experiencing such temperature differences in daytime this Spring, which could vary greatly by so easily as much, by wildly fluctuating well over 20 degrees F.
Within only a single day apart. Usually, the Chesapeake Bay normally moderates these great differences. (Somewhat similarly to San Francisco Bay, yet the warmer Gulf of
Mexico water steam current flows up, Northward along the Atlantic.)
I'll need some adequate rainfall, just to get these into the ground, if "brick hard." Or else I'm going to simply just pot them up, using bagged soil. (On top of it all, water rates have increased, well over, & above a typical "summer rate" increase !)
Though hopefully, adequate precipitation isn't in form of a Hurricane, as Season for that, already seems to have began rather early.
Of course I realize, I'm not the only one to experience these very strange changes.
It just doesn't seem usual, or even nearly typical, at all.
