You don't know smoke like I do. The Air quality numbers here have been unhealthy (150 or greater) for most of the last 5 weeks. I took two trips to the coast and will did it again next week. I hate summer.

There was no rain for the last two days. Been a while since I could say that. The webbing between my toes may start to recede soon.
At 1100 it's cloudy, 82F with 81% humidity. Forecast high/low of 88/72F with 50% chance of rain. 10 day high/low of 91/71F with 9 days of possible rain. One day soon the highs will be in the 80's and the lows in the 60's. That is the start of fall to me.
Speaking of fall, I'm down to 12 hours 59 minutes for my length of day.

Heavy rains have saturated much of the state of Wisconsin over the last 7-10 days. For the first time since May my garden was under about an inch of water for an extended period of time. Standing water has receded just in time for more storms tonight ahead of a cold front bringing in more stable air. Flooding all around me with multiple main rivers cresting.
Today I will hit 13:21 hours of sunlight.

It rained a little at the farm this afternoon. But before that we had 4 straight days with no rain. That is a new record for this summer. That is good for my flowering plants. But the garden was dry as hell already. I had to turn on the soaker hoses yesterday.
At 1620 it's partly cloudy, 75F with 71% humidity. Forecast high/low of --/72F with 60% chance of rain tonight. 10 day high/low of 90/71F with 10 days of possible rain. Maybe my dry spell is over.

I incorrectly thought it would prevent bud rot. Thanks for the heads up. Will leave them be. My friends who grow, say to go out in early morning, and give the plants a good shake, to remove some moisture.

We haven't had rain in S. Cal for over a year? There are no more "seasons" or "weather patterns" in California, only coastal fog and heat. Plants don't grow when the temps under 68 degrees. Extreme heat in the greenhouse will "strawberry" buds with unwanted growth appendages. Farming is work.

Filtered sun and seasonable temps in SE Wisconsin. Finally no rain here for an extended period of time.

Sister is going back to Denver next week. She was dying from this Florida heat. Her kid won a week in a Cali resort, and needed a baby sitter, so she jumped at the chance.

This is always the hottest time of year for us. The third week of September is when it starts to cool off most years.
