@Char.... I would have loved to see that.

Another frost this morning, pretty sure this one was not predicted either, a little colder than yesterday, currently 2C or 35.6F.

Great picture, Charlie. The southwest has great skies.


They are calling for a high of 85F. Right now they are calling for a high of 100F on Sunday. I have seen it over 100F in October.

Kelli we are supposed to hit 100 also this weekend. Great temp last night as it dropped to 63 !

The weather co-operated today and it was about 70 all day. Just perfect for gardening weather. Got lots done.

This fall I tried to grow peas in pots on my driveway like I did this spring. But the backyard birds simply wouldn't have it and pecked the poor pea seedlings to death.

So I decided I didn't need most of the pots on the driveway for winter and dragged the 12 of the 16 inch pots off the driveway and arranged them along the side of the house on the driveway side. I will be growing peas in them in the new location come spring.

So tired now from dragging all the pots and getting them fixed up where I wanted them to be.

We haven't had frost here yet. We are on a hill and tend to escape the first early frosts. I am hoping for some rain today.

They are calling for a high of 91F.

Rained last night and has been raining non stop since about 10:30 this morning . Goes from light to heavy and back to light and then back to heavy rain ......no gardening today . Made a quick dash out to harvest some seed pods . Still have Sears Tower, Happy Returns , Stella d'oro and 2 of my own seedlings still blooming . The rain is now responsible for the deterioration of my watermelon vines, tomatoes are looking pretty sad .......but cabbage , swiss chard , zucchinis and peppers and luffa still going strong but if this rain doesnt stop soon they will succumb too I am sure.

Yesterday was cool, mostly cloudy, high of only 66. Today started off dark and gray, started raining around 10:, stopped for the time being but more predicted with a high of 57, chance of thunderstorms.

Snow on Jicarita Peak, about twenty miles south of us, probably down to 12,000 feet.

Low 32 high 71

They are calling for a high of 99F.

No daylilies blooming, of course, but maybe you'll like this amaryllis blooming out of season.
Amaryllis 'Double Picotee'

Kelli, lovely blooms!

It has been a nice sunny cool day here, 54f now, with a predicted high of only 57f, chance of a thunderstorm later today.

98 on the patio at last check, heading for 100 !

After the rain.

That reminds me that last night we had a gorgeous double rainbow too, still in the camera.

Ugh

Thank you, Margaret.


They are calling for a high of 93F. It got up to 101F at the house yesterday.

Kelli as I said to Linda yesterday UGH

I skipped to the end of this thread as I don't have a lot of luck with daylilies. But I wanted to report that those who sent me seeds, and even some seedlings, I have bunches of plants now. Only one has bloomed though and it was in a thoroughly bad spot. Amazing. I have dug up lovely fans of St. Francis of Asissi among others. Also Siberian iris I received seeds for and have now many nice seedlings. They will do well.

Just wanted to thank those people for sharing and that I hope with more judicious placement I will have blooms next spring. I place them in sunny spots (well, one not so sunny) and get robust fans but no flowers. Any suggestions. Dahlias, peonies, lamium, iris, lilies bloom like crazy - just the daylilies refuse to bloom.

Sunny. South wind 5 to 15 mph.

Hot and it might storm tonight. Still have too many mosquitoes to work in the yard.
