I did just run out and plant some celebrity, and black cherry tomato plants in between thunder showers. I was actually going out to plant lavender, patchouli, mint, borage, and some herbs I had from the “free plants” stand at the Mom & Pop Nursery.
I also got a black and blue Rose there the other day. Need to check out what those blooms look like. Oh dear, I just guesstimated that I have about 64 plants from there awaiting planting. I need to stop driving by there on the way to my Mom’s everyday.
I just listened to Joe Bastardi's Saturday summary @ Weatherbell.com , and he compared our ElNino year(2007),followed by ElNina(2008) with current weather.
He predicted lower than average tornado season, with a cool snap in the NE, weakening rains in Texas, followed by warmth in NE and midWest plains.
He also called for cooler temps on the West Coast in 10 days.
It appears that you will have adequate time to plant all 64ish herbs ,once the rains in Texas weaken.
Greeneyes, thanks for the reminder that Bastardi still has a "free Saturday Summary" available online, and on the smartphones.
I guess that i just got too used to having it available free, with a hot-link here at FR .
