The forecasters have changed the 10 day forecast again. The thunderstorms predicted for Saturday have been downgraded to scattered showers. Friday the 17th thunderstorms have been predicted. One thing stranger than the weather is me. I like to pick up bagged grass and leaves on the side of the road for compost and mulch. This time of year it is mostly grass, but yesterday it was only leaves. Is the dry weather causing this, or is it just that time of year?
Figs and tomatoes are ripening at a rapid rate. The okra is still producing even though most of the plants are on the ground. The peppers are doing well too. The cabbage and broccoli plants that went into the ground Sunday will probably have to be replaced. Some of them look like little strings laying on the ground. They received a good misting last night. Maybe that will help.
The turnips, mustard, kale, collards, radish and carrots that were planted Sunday and Monday have not come up yet. When they do they will have to be watered like everything else. I can’t remember having to water the fall garden other than the transplants. This would normally be the time to over-seed the yard, but I think it is just too hot.
