We love to talk about all aspects of the weather, the effect on our gardens, and on our lives. This is a good place to keep a record of weather in our gardens from year to year too, so for that reason let's try to stay as close to the topic as we can. Please join in and tell us about your weather.

Still waiting on bloom, only the very earliest are cracking. It's been cool here, which is fine with me. Today will be mostly cloudy and hit 70 degrees. Down to 53 tonight. I won't be in the garden much today. I have to teach and also have a visit to my Oncologist. I also need to go get prescriptions and go food shopping. I hate when life gets between me and my yard!

The early morning weather news here on this first day of summer was that this Sunday they are predicting 111 and on Monday 112. Crying Not good news to wake up to and no rain predicted.

Not fair, Linda, sure wish I could send you some rain and cooler weather. Though be careful what you wish for; I wished for rain and it's rained for three days with totals between 4 - 6.5". Not that we didn't need it, however it seems to be feast or famine.

Unseasonably cool here, 63/54. Drizzling at the moment. Rain all day, diminishing in coverage and intensity later tonight. We still have at least three more days of rain predicted.

Thank You! for the offer, Donna. Smiling That much rain would cause serious flooding here, however, and my roof would probably leak. Sad

Rain!!
After watching storms one after another go around us we are finally getting a light but soaking rain today. It doesn't feel like summer here with temps in the 60s.

Hurray! for everyone's much needed rain.
Thumbs down on those forecast temps Linda. Our forecast was for upper 80's the rest of the week. Now it's upper 70's so there will be a few more perfect days for working in the garden. It'll sure help to get the weeding done. Sunny all day with temps 53 & 76.

Our weather guy was wrong this time and he's usually spot on. Rain was supposed to "diminish" late yesterday, never happened and it's still raining, at times heavily. 63/56 today; foggy.
