Not much rain today, but there was sun predicted and it was a no-show. Looks like tommorow will be the day we get backto a normal weather pattern,and IÃ¯Â¿Â½ll be happy to see it ! I think IÃ¯Â¿Â½m going to go to the SF Botanical Garden on Sat or Sun to placate myself for the 2 rainout garden tours IÃ¯Â¿Â½ve missed in May.On the plus side all my new fledgeling plants are getting a nice start with the rainwater .Snail patrols have been intense ! Deanne, itÃ¯Â¿Â½s so interesting to look at the pics you posted this weekend on FB, and compare your garden progress with mine. It looks like you are so way ahead of me here inzone 9, but I had to remind myself that I have lots of brand new 1st year plants that are still small. Trying to figure out a way to invite myself to see your gardens this August, as it is very likely I will be going to Boston on business in the middle of that month. Cindy, that little Stella is mighty cute ! IÃ¯Â¿Â½ve been monitoring your weather ..and everyones actually, when I got my I-phone I set up the Idyll temps on the weather app.At this moment my phone say itÃ¯Â¿Â½s 80 where you are , too damn hot for 8:30 ! A balmy 74 at Deannes. All for me, cooking an artichoke for dinner and need to do a snail WALAT . Kathy in Napa

Paul, you are giving me some education with your hosta info. Like, I had no idea what to expect of my Dark Shadows. I got it from Naylor Creek in 2012, as what I understand is a TC grown on by them for at least a couple of years. So I get it last year. And this is the picture I took of it May 2013. Does it have the irregular dark pattern you refer to in a MATURE PLANT. I'm getting a thought in my head, put there by someone also along the I-10 corridor, that maybe our climate can act on the maturation rate of hosta. It is something to think about, if we get regular indicators of maturity. But we have to know the exact age of the plant we're discussing. Which I don't know exactly. So what you say about the irregular streaks being a mark of a mature leaf, it perked my ears. Does my hosta look mature to you? Other than being still freshly leafed out and not toughened up to the heat yet.

Hi Maddie~ Glad you checked in, but what a bad situation. Take care--and MOVE out of there. If the cops suspect a meth lab, they likely would have cleared the building immediately. Meth labs are extrememly toxic and smell like cat urine and chemicals---you can tell if there is a meth lab operating. The smell is really (chemically) OUT OF THIS WORLD. Along with the smell, meth labs generate an emormous amount of garbage---bottles and bags of chemicals, used tubing, and LOTS of small boxes of cold medicines. Are their windows covered 24/7? Can you check with the landlord to see if they pay rent in cash only? Are there visitors all night? If you and your neighbors really believe there is a meth lab operation, you should get license plate numbers of their visitors, call the police, and then MOVE OUT. If that place is a meth lab, you will be forced to move anyway! If law enforcement busts a lab, they evacuate the building until the haz-mat process is over and the apartment is cleaned, inspected, and repainted. It's a LONG and expensive process. They might just be smoking and selling crack, which is really as bad and dangerous for the residents of the building, due to the rise in crime associated with crack use, and the acrid odors and weird people you have to deal with. For your own safety, peace of mind, and sanity...MOVE...asap. We love you.

Happy WEDNESDAY! My professional and personal life are still incredibly hectic, but I can't complain about very much. I feel very blessed. The actual wedding will take place in DR, and they are throwing themselves a 'reception' at the end of June in a typical NJ wedding factory with 190 or so in attendance. She was going to really be laid back about the reception, but it has turned into the usual around here that costs more than an average auto!! I guess it's a NYC thing, but it is such a stressful situation for the bride. I'm so grateful that she is coming to me with lots of her concerns; she has been incredibly generous in sharing her life with me. Got to run and catch up with work. I hosted a scholarship luncheon here at the office for our local high school recipients....I'm the Scholarship Chair on our community outreach team, but as you all know, it's not my 'day job'! It is the fun part, tho! Make this week count! Love to all Dee
