Yes, we got rain. We got about an inch of rain in about 15 minutes. No joke. It just poured. And the forecast says more is on the way for tomorrow. Its a cold front coming in. We should also see our temperatures drop. Today we had a high of almost 84. The high tomorrow should only be about 73. Our nights will be cooler too, high 50’s for the night temperature.
So I’m guessing fall has come. But at least with this weather the plants should be happy.
Well the weather has been warm, but cooling. How’s that you ask. Well we’ve had some days lately that have been in the low 90’s, but more like the mid to high 80’s. We did have one day that got warm, mid 90’s. But later this week we’re supposed to be down into cool. We haven’t had rain in a while, and that is due back in a few days too. Mainly thunderstorms, not slow and steady. But if we get rain, we’ll just take what we get. We did have some nice weather and all the areas have gotten green. Lawns have looked nice. But then when hot weather hit they got a bit dry.
But to give you an idea tomorrow Friday Sept. 23 should be 90, but by Monday it should be a high of 68. And the rain should start either tomorrow night or Saturday. But again, its supposed to be showers so more sporadic rain not really wide spread. But then again, who knows. We’ll see what the weather and rain gods have in store for us.
According to the farmers almanac emails I am getting it is time to start planting again. Time for bush beans, beets, broccoli, cucumber, kale, squash, and tomato seeds to be planted. Since the weather has been nice I will plant on clearing some areas and getting some seeds in. Last week we had help from Pat and Pat did put some seeds in the ground. We were lucky enough to get some rain this week so the ground is well watered. Its also been warm, mid 80’s, and some sun. I’d say this is good weather for planting. It also helps that we may be in for some (40-50%) chance of rain next week. So I’m thinking this is a good weekend to put some seed in the ground.
