Sometimes I feel like I should bite my tongue when it comes to the weather. I complain when it is cold that I want it to be warmer, and vice versa when its too hot. We are now pushing into the 90's and are supposed to reach 100 over the weekend... Not fun. The watering situation is not a big deal though, since we don't have a large quantity of plants. its still tough though. The biggest fear with this time of year and the weather is the Wildfire threat. It seems like if it isn't one thing, its another. Warmer weather means more thunderstorms and around here, dry conditions and lightning are not always a good combination because all to often, the storms come with no rain to accompany them. This means low humidity and dry brush, which can light up in an instant. Not to mention, that with warmer weather comes more wind... lots and lots of wind. And when a wildfire is going, the wind can take off with one little ember and all hell breaks loose... It just isn't pretty.
Well, as promised I have some updated pictures of the garden.
