15 July 2006 Cruciferous


Even though it seems like July has been nothing but rain, with continual cool temperatures and clouds, we had received less than .05" of rain during the month. Wednesday and Thursday seemed like summer had finally arrived, with high temperatures hitting 75 and clear sunny skies. But the clouds returned early Friday morning and by afternoon it was as dark as it's been since early May. The rain started late afternoon and continued through the night and into Saturday morning. It rained 1.6" and now we're more than an 1" ahead of the normal month-to-date precipitation. The weather may have changed our Saturday plans, but the vegetables, trees, and lawn seem happy with the soaked ground. Greens seem just a little more vibrant today and leaves are shiny with the moisture.
