Wordless Wednesday
Isn’t that an amazing picture of lightening striking a tree?
That just goes to show why you shouldn’t take cover under a tree in a rain storm. Tree’s get hit by lightening all the time and so do the people standing under them!
Strange weather
Wow, the weather switches around here from one day to the next!
On Sunday it was extremely hot and humid. This of course was thanks to the warm weather blowing in, in advance of the remnants of Hurricane Ike. Late in the evening it became quite windy and the rain came – not as much rain as they were predicting luckily.  The wind cooled everything down and so far this week (Mon, Tues) it’s been cooler than it normally should be at this time of year.
It’s so strange to go from tropical temperatures to very cool temperatures all within the span of 24 hours. I wonder what our plants think of all the changes in the weather?
Have you had strange weather in your area in the last few days?
Autumn garden maintenance
It’s only September, but it feels like both autumn and winter are fast approaching. If the weathermen are correct we are in for an early winter this year. How depressing is that?
Here in Toronto the days and evenings are already getting cooler. I know we still might get some nice warm weather, but as I said above it sure seems like winter is just around the corner as it’s usually quite nice and pleasantly warm around here in early September.
Perhaps it’s time to start thinking about maintaining and preparing the garden for autumn? If you do a little bit at a time now, there’ll be less to do if winter suddenly rears up it’s ugly head!
I went searching to see if I could find other sites talking about fall cleanup and autumn garden maintenance and guess what? I found some great articles! So if you aren’t sure where to start in your own garden, take a look at what these authors have to say and you’ll begin to form your own fall garden maintenance plan for your garden.
