While in the garden today, I looked in a rather neglected spot, and was shocked at how HUGE the 2 pattypan bushes had suddenly gotten; they are above my waist, and equally broad.
I was also surprised at what was on them; lots more coming, too. Chicken & rabbit manure work wonders.
Oh, and rain again today, after a second, closer, tornado yesterday, making 2 this week. We have now received all of the average rainfall for August, plus all of September's, and 2/3 of October's averages; and the month is just coming up on half over. The tornadoes are just weird, as there's only around a dozen on record for the entire Black Hills region (and most of those in the Wyoming or northern portions of the Hills) since 1953.
Well, that weather expert that is often on fox news says that we are in a 1950’s weather pattern-not global warming, so that would make some sense.
Up this Am, and it is nippy. A cool 50 degrees. This is August. Usually really hot and dry weather. I sure could use some global warming right about now. I never will get a tomato off my vines in the raised beds at this point.
