How's the weather?

[SlipperFan]

Several very nice days -- I've done a lot of weeding the past few days.

Glad to hear the bad stuff missed you -- hope that luck continues. For all of us!

Big storms keep sweeping past Oxford pa where I work, flooding and damaging places in south jersey, central pa, md and today West Virginia and va
And mostly not raining in Oxford. You can watch the storms slide to the south while it sprinkles

And watching the radar just now, this storm literally slid a half mile north of the greenhouses!

But if you see the blue dot (my apartment) it's about to get nailed
Again. But since I've recently planted perennials out front I'm very appreciative

More rain and very hot weather. The rain is so hard that
it's beating down my perennial garden. Deer have decided
to bed down in the daylilies down my driveway. I suppose
stomped daylilies make a nice bed.

LOL! Apparently, they don't like the taste of daylilies. They don't eat them; they just sleep on them.

They seem to like the buds of our daylilies.

 

[abax]

That's interesting. The deer have never touched the buds
here. Of course, it comes to the same thing...no daylily
flowers either way.

Driving home from work tonight was like a half hour ride through a car wash with the water and the blower going off at the same time plus with some strobe lights

Hot and soooo humid. Of course, there's no climate change at the Republican Convention in Ohio. What a
circus.

Wendy, you can golf in 90+ temps?????

 

[Wendy]

I LOVE the heat and humidity! Makes for good golf. (for me anyway) I still walk the course for the most part....although if it is a hilly course I will take a power cart in the heat.

 

[cnycharles]

I always had a hard time golfing when that hot, hands would sweat too much even with a glove

Now when I play basketball and could use some dampness, dry as a bone

Dedicated, Wendy, dedicated.

Hot and sunny - so begins the true heat of summer that will last unbroken for the next 6 weeks or so. Highs peaking between 32-35 C on average and never a temperature below 24 C even in the middle of the night. Currently rather cool at 3:30 pm coming in at 30 C with the relative humidity only 68%. Can't complain!

Makes the bones and joints slide easier! :evil:

I always found when it got that hot I could go out bike riding and not have to do any stretching to get warmed up
And on a bike you can make your own breeze

It mid winter here. Hottest winter day for over 40yrs - over 80F!! Summer is going to be a killer............

 

[AdamD]

Heat index of 117F right now. That's 47.2C. No joke. My plants are all outside right now. They're no wimps. We just came in from swimming.

I live in a climate where summer hits these temps and winter wind chills regularly hit -10F (-23C). How does one regulate greenhouse temps in these extremes? Seriously. I'm planning to build one in a few years. Any tips would be appreciated.

 

[cnycharles]

When it gets super hot you are better off removing any walls you have and maximizing your shading, even if you think it would be a bit too dark in the summer. For winter, if you have wind you'd want to have things sealed up very well because wind will find any crack and blow in, very quickly removing heat

 

[abax]

I hear you Adam...same here and no rain to speak of. I
used to like summer.

 

[cnycharles]

WET!
Rain!!!

National weather service yesterday predicted flooding today and tomorrow possible. Roadsides and fields are flooding, where I park my car in front of apt wide swath of running water halfway up sneakers and had to step through over them. It's just the first storm

but, it's no longer hot! Had no line at the state vehicle inspection station either
