Remember me ranting on about all the HEAT we were receiving in the middle of August? About how huge the cracks were in the garden? Well…now I have to eat my hat! Just as suddenly the weather did a 360 and here we are with a ton of rainfall (close to 4″…) and COLD temperatures. Truth be told (and you can shout at me later…) I asked (to the heavens above…) for 1 1/2″ of rain…in August. As I noticed no changes with the huge cracks, no matter how much I was watering…

NOW…here I sit, pondering how am I going to get the garden off in 2 days…as the weather people are promising close to freezing temps! (Dropping down to + 12C …daytime on Tuesday and only +5C for nighttime on Friday…) By us the temperatures are always another 3 to 5 degrees cooler than reported…so maybe we will be in trouble. AND THEN it is warming up again! What is one to do!!!??

For starters…I best get off this PC! I’ll touch bases with you all later and let you know how the garden did…after all.

Now if only I can get those “kiddlets” HOME! I might get some “real” work done…

Talk to you later…
