A little predication for us members in the U.S. https://weather.com/forecast/national/news/2025-04-16-summer-outlook-heat-rain-drought
I'm in that "Most above" zone. I think I can already feel it. The garden is really dry. Goal for today - get the drip irrigation running in at least two more garden beds. There are three main lines. I think two are good but need appropriate emitters. The third is barely dripping. I will have to pull up the buried line, which is under the mulch, and re-install it. Or just cut it and put in a new line. The main issue with emitters is my crop rotation. Row crops (onions, garlic, beans, lettuce, radishes) get linear emitters. Individual plants (tomatoes, peppers) get spot emitters. So I have to switch the lines with the crop rotation. Plus they tend to deteriorate or get plugged with time. The other issue, maybe I should set out the tomato plants and start squashes. It's a month earlier than usual, but it's getting hot out there. Challenge: some nights are below 40F even though days are in the 70s.
I think this doesn't quite reflect how warm it really is. My outside thermometer, in the shade, was reading 80F yesterday.
Good morning all, light rain and a moderate breeze temp 9c to 14c Precipitation 61% Sunrise 6.02 Sunset 20.12 Dry later but we had rain till 7pm yesterday, which is good.
