What is your weather like ... today

[MitchM]

I'm kind of looking forward to snow this year.
I put a deposit down on a snowblower attachment for my Kubota. I'll pick it up next week.
Bring it on!

What about my Red Banana's I planted? It is suposed to get near freezing next week! Maybe I can let the tops freeze off and dig out the bulbs? Anybody know? I can't bear to lose them or the yellow tropical blooming tree. Maybe I can dig it out and put in greenhouse cause my mother really loves it. Then there is the Black Taro... will let tops freeze lightly and save bulb and see show that goes.

Heck of a strong cold front came through last night. Heaviest thunderstorms we've had all summer. Rained all night, and this morning is windy and cool.

 

[HARO]

Yup, we got the same! Down to 60 F. this morning.

@HARO John, this is a little off topic, but my arrowheads have all but turned brown and died off. Is this normal for early September? How are yours doing?

Don't have any in my own pond, but the ones at the garden centre have all turned brown. Early fall this year!

111 heat index, 92 actual..................miserable out there

 

[sissy]

we are at 93 and not sure what the heat index is but you can really feel the heat out side .I looked at the thermometer outside and it says 95 degrees but our weather comes of Danville VA or Roanoke Va

You may be getting the southern end of the cold front we got last night within the next day or so. http://radar.weather.gov/Conus/full_lite_loop.php I'm looking at lines of T storms going through Tenn that are related to this front.

 

[sissy]

well we finally got some rain even though it did not last long

Colleen, I would say figure out a way to bring it inside. The only problem is that our climate has such dry relative humidity in the winter.
Look it up the requirements on the internet for that banana plant.
My wife bought a zone 4 peony this year that wasn't cheap, so I think I'm going to try to bring it inside, along with the pond lily.
Maybe I'll put the pond lily in the aquaponics system.
I'm also bringing inside our worm composter. I think the worms come from the southern states somewhere. Red wigglers, I think.
Citrus trees are coming inside too.

well some pretty good thunder storms rolled in but not a lot of rain .But rain is rain and the water is neededThey use red wigglers here for fishing Mitch
