Today it is 24C and shaping up to be a hot one. For those of
you in the states that is about 75F I think which to most of you is likely fall
weather...LOL However, in Saskatchewan that is on its way to being too hot especially
for a gal like me that doesn’t fair well in the heat. The garden on the other
hand loves this heat! Now I just have to hope that we have a nice hail free thunder
storm tonight and then I won’t have to worry about watering!
On Tuesday we had pea size hail for about 2 mins followed by
downpours. The next day brought back those horrible winds we had the week
before. The garden has a bit of damage, but I think it will survive. For the most part I think all this crazy
weather we have been having is keeping a lot of the garden pests away.
Nonetheless, it is only the first week of July and they do have time to come
back and do some damage. Right now the only major pests are the mosquitoes which
are now immune to any kind of spray I use. I am tempted to write to OFF! And give
them a piece of my mind about a few of their new product I bought. They don’t work
at all....stupid mosquitoes!
In other news I thought I would throw in a picture of my
early girl patio tomato plant. She is really setting fruit now, but nothing is
close to ripening yet. It fell over a few times in the storms and I am just
surprised it is still alive. I normally just grow Roma’s since they are my all
time favourite tomatoes. However they take quite a long time to produce fruit
and ripen. This means it had been quite the treat to see tomatoes in June and I
am very excited to be eating fresh tomatoes in July sometime!
oh my doesn't my hand/camera shadow look CREEPY
So that is about all for now. If I can find my energy today
is going to be a housecleaning day maybe followed by a bit of time in the
steamy sewing room.
I hope everyone else is having a wonderful Saturday
your tomatoes are looking great...I love home grown tomatoes. all I need is a salt shaker and a chair and I'm happy. I planted 3 this year....one cherry tomato plant and two early girl plants. The cherry has already had a few but the others are a little slow......
ReplyDelete75 sounds perfect to me...I'm sweltering here in Florida. Winter is my favorite season. My husband says that I don't belong here and I agree!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you're garden is really taking a beating with the high winds and now hail.
I am so jealous of your weather. It's 113 here in Missouri and I HATE the heat! Fall is my favorite time of year, warm enough for just a light sweater in the day and cool enough to sleep with the windows open at night.
ReplyDeleteMy garden was burned up long ago but the neighbor kept his watered and I've now got tomatoes and zucchini delivered to my door everyday. I'm running out of freezer room!
Haha! I finally stop wearing my ski jacket when it hits 25!!!
