I agree, Ray. I don't recall so much solidly overcast skies at this time of year for so many days. The weather system is more typical for march or early april.

Lettuce and peas are loving it, for sure. Luckily it's just warm enough for the other stuff to not falter too much.

Last week we had 2" of rain (we don't usually see rain from April til October!), then hit 105* yesterday! Ugh!
Just hoping everything is OK! Nancy

Hot and sticky (though not as hot as Nancy's!) here. Planted more peppers yesterday and a couple of tomatoes that were starting to blossom in 1 gal pots. Was going to plant the rest of my peppers today (maybe 12 or so, have 61 in the ground, I always end up planting more than I originally planned - in this case b/c somene gave me some new varieties). But more severe T-storms predicted tonight/tomorrow so didn't want to risk them. Some of the ones I planted yesterday were leaning, had mulch (hay) blown over them just from a brief storm yesterday. Of course Thurs they had predicted strong storms and we got some wind (thought it was going to rip the squash out) but only 1/2" of rain. Been picking up branches all month, DH keeps fixing the road whenever it washes out.
