Hopefully your will handle it better than some of mine did.
I had a few who ended up with sun scorch.
That yellow blow paid us a visit w/above 100 degrees for over a week.
Maybe I should have put sun screen on them.

Rich we must be neighbors lol... SE MA near Rehoboth here...and I am so digging the big yellow blob in the sky..and a little worried about my plants who only saw it for 3 days last month

Rich, wishing you guys lots more sun - I watch the weather there daily, as I miss my family & friends back there. My Mom says of the rainy June, "the natives are getting restless!"

These are my weather observations after 13 years on the south coast: An extremely cold winter is followed by a cool summer, then a nice, extended fall, a milder than usual winter, a hot summer - then the cycle starts all over again. It seems like the nasty cold winter we had is indeed being followed by a cool summer - but I hope, for your sake, it gets warmer soon!

Oh, Rich, I am sooo looking forward to it. Your weather is heading our way and we surely all need it. I tried to go out and do some weeding for the first time in a week and a half this morning and the rain started pouring as soon as I got everything ready. This happened to me three times before I finally got to clean a patch late in the evening.

Bring it on!!!!! :O) I could use a good dose of natural vitamin D right now.

Cool temps I could take..and we did not get much more than avg rain..but the 80% CLOUD cover ..THAT is the killer. I lived in WA state for 10 yrs and moved Home to.(McChord AFB area) Of I never wanted to see the sun again I'd have stayed there....

but even then in May jun july aug sept oct the sun is out a LOT. Nov to April 30.not so much....

ROFLMAO!!!!! The dank! The dank! Where is the dank!

OMG!! There's this light coming from the kitchen skylights right now. Could it be? Is it? YEEHAW!! It's the BYB!!

I KNOW! Its here again too! My skin is not flour white any more! ...Ahhhh....and it looks good the rest of the week!

Ahhhhh, ok, so this is the point where I can sit back and say what BEAUTIFUL weather we have here in the north :)
Remember, way back when you were all bragging about your sprouts and warm-up this spring. Us northerners were digging out of snow banks and managing to find places for milk jugs in our dash out in the sub zero temps.
Well, HA! We've had beautiful weather in the 70s and 80s with about an inch of rain each week (at night of course).
Ahhhhh...

Ok, just had to rub it in a little ;)

I wish it was sunny here.. I can't remember the last time we had a winter this cold! It's been raining almost every day for more than a month now, and whenever we have sunny dry weather, we have night temps in the 20's.

It might not be anything compared to winter weather you have there, but usually I have things growing year round... well, not this time! There were so many frosts already that everything's looking dead.

Here's a shot from yesterday morning:

Can't wait for spring.

It paid us a visit that's for sure!! After 3 days of 90+F, near 100F on Saturday, it's a cool down today of about 78F. Received some rain through the overnight and early morning hours and I bet the garden was celebrating since getting any rain at this point in the season is hard to come by LOL!!

OK, does that BYB have a string on it?? WHO pulled it back?? Ooooh, I'm going to be sooo mad at you. Probably Token... Yes, it has to be. OK, that's it. I'm coming for you!

The dank is back.

yep-saw the sun for a bit yesterday-as it was sinking in the west-what a tease! Today cold and cloudy but at least no ice! Wow mmsc! I always pictured Brazil as sun and sand with dark skinned people laying on the beach in itty bitty bikinis-I always wanted a tan like that-my skin looks like the underbelly of a fish-a dead fish...

Finally the sun and heat are returning. Supposed to be in the 80s today, 90s by the weekend.

The holiday weekend was pretty much a bust here- cold and rainy. On 2 consecutive days our high temps were actually the lowest high temps ever recorded for the date. We didn't go to the picnic we were invited to on Saturday- it was cold and rained for 10 straight hours.

For crying out loud!!! Can someone turn up the heat PLEEEASE??? A measley 58F this morning. Did I miss something, like summer?

tiffy: We've had lows of 56 to 62 for the past week, and I'm about 1,000 miles south of you.

But now I'm about ready to whine about the heat. I've been out deadheading, cutting off flowers that rotted in the cold and rain, shovel pruning, etc. It got hot, I got sweaty. Came in for an iced tea break.

I just shovel pruned a huge 4 foot rudbeckia that was getting on my nerves. Felt good. It'll be compost food soon.
