Eggplant parmesan, checken and spaghetti tonight.

 

[mom45]

He is already gone. Had to meet someone at his house that wants to buy a desk or something. He was cranky.

Rain appears to be over here, but I think he may end up driving in it from the looks of the radar, but maybe not if it moves through fairly quickly.

 

[Expat]

The airports says we got almost a half inch. Better than nothing.

 

[Expat]

Just .65 inch in the last month according to weather underground...

 

[ghitch75]

91f heat index 109...

 

[churchmouse]

90* here and no idea what the index is.

 

[mom45]

Rain cooled it down to about 70 here but the humidity is supposed to come right back and the heat will return very quickly.

I should check the rain gauge. I'm guessing maybe a half inch based on the puddle.

 

[Snapdragon]

We had an intense storm, but it didn't last long.

Maters are going crazy. Seems like they are going from green to red in a couple of days.

I may or may not have just bought this. Smith & Wesson 10-5 2 in 38 SPL K-frame RB 1975 : Revolvers at GunBroker.com I sold the model 10 snubby that was my Jeep gun last year and have regretted it ever since.

we had a 1" 1/2 yesterday....

 

[mom45]

We are way down on rain. Everything is brown...grass is crunchy in most spots. And now we have at least two more oak trees showing signs of oak wilt. Timber....

 

[churchmouse]

We have pulled 4 red maters so far.
A zillion green ones.....

 

[mom45]

The only red ones we've had so far have been on the patio plants. I have already had tomato worms attacking the garden plants. Picked a few cucumbers and zucchini and several banana peppers. Things are growing like crazy. Vines are growing practically in front of my eyes and taking over!

We've eaten one early girl, 5-6 big cherry, and about a dozen small cherry so far, and these are what's left that's ripe. Got gazillions more on the vines.

 

[mom45]

I'm trying to be patient. I think the patio plants are getting root bound cause they are slowing way down. I will probably get them out of the pots and planted in the garden this weekend. Hubby's going to build me a planter right behind the house where I have the pots for next year.

 

[Snapdragon]

We have ours in pots on the deck because the dogs and squirrels will get them otherwise. I don't think they get rootbound in these.

We've got five of them. I drilled holes in the bottom.

I use those for laundry baskets. They never break!

I bought a couple of big pots at Bailey's. They looked big enough until I put the plants in them. They fit inside a milk crate and I have them setting in them so they don't tip over and are easier to move since I can grab the handles on the crate and slide them onto the hand cart. The neighbor had hers in half barrels and that was perfect. I was too cheap to spend the money for those. I like the idea of a big planter to put them in next year and he has the materials here to build one so I like that plan.

I guess I better go fix dinner. BBL
