You must have a really nice cool spot there!

NWS Paducah reports 63 deg. F this morning, and ditto for us — but that’s good enough! I stepped out half and hour ago, and it’s just plain delightful to have this in early August! Presently, the forecast is a slow warming trend next week, but we don’t get above 90 deg. F until next Friday.

I’ll take it. I just hope we get some rain by the end of next week - we’ve quickly gone from soggy to dry. All that evapo-transpiration, ya’ know!

Medium. The small cities up by the interstate are always a few degrees warmer and an AG research center in the other direction is always a few degrees cooler. I think they’re in the holler.

This little cool blast reminded me that Fall & Winter are not too far off. Went through ebay history, emails and pics and I’m coming up on two years since I started buying little things for the tunnel and setting pipe trusses in the ground.

Time to finish that thing up.

Then I need to learn to grow in it and what to grow. I probably need to start shopping for seed/varieties where the market gardeners with high tunnels do instead of Baker Creek and local stores.
