All summer in a day, or three
Aug. 24th, 2010 12:08 amSuddenly, it's summer.
Yes, yes, I know, the entire rest of the country has been broiling all summer long. But it's been cool, even chilly here. Highs barely in the 70s, low 50s at night. But today the temp rocketed into the 90s. Tomorrow is predicted to be 99. Wednesday in the 90s also. And then it's over, with Saturday & Sunday chilling down to highs in the 60s.
In other news, I picked five more fantastic Ambrosia melons today. This is following the three from last Wednesday, and another five last Friday! This is hands downs the best melon production I've ever had, and it's not over yet. Thirteen and still counting, all from a mere hill of 3 vines. Superb flavor too. The cool summer apparently has been to its liking, contrary to everything I've heard about melons.
