Reporting from Southern California.
The fires are abating so we’re having less ash fall - air is “moderate” still, but far better.
Cooling a bit too, although I see temps in the 100s later in the week. My roses are just starting to return after the oppressive 110+ degree heat we had. We get a second flush in the fall, not as good as the spring but still can be beautiful.
I noticed the raccoons are starting to get my pomegranates, I don’t have a lot this year, small crop - but I’d like all of them. I noticed some neighbors have put netting around their pomegranate trees and I may do that this weekend as my garden project.
Planting more irises, I collect them and some are spectacular, I really like the re-bloooming ones so I get two sets of blossoms over the year.
Pray for rain!!
Still no rain here. But 75 degrees.
I water every day, but ground is still parched to the max.
Cukes still producing.
Knotweed extermination is done for the year.
