How Is The Weather ..(3)- 2015
July 1st, 2015, .. 12:12Am PDT
At the very early minutes of this first day of July, 2015, I start the 3rd "How Is The Weather ?" thread, Just in time for the fireworks and celebration.
Wishing and hoping that you all will have a nice July weather and for the rest of season.
I start the first report from the high hills of Sammamish, WA, with the next 5 days forecast.

"Call the Midwife" returns 3/29/2015
Comments (20)I watch Foyle's War on Acorn. I have one episode of season 7 to watch and just last night saw that Acorn will be adding the 8th season next week. Marie-Cate, I too saw that this will be the last season.. but I did read that it was concluded once before (end of season 5 I think?) and returned. I can only hope. Foyle's War has everything that makes a good series for me.. 4Kids.. I've always been confused by how they label the seasons (series 8/set 7). Netflix has the second to last season available online. It was released earlier this year. There is one more season coming after that one-- Acorn will get it this coming Monday. Not sure when Netflix will get it but I am assuming it will be soon!...See MoreHow Is The Weather ..2- 2015
Comments (249)I think somewhere a few months ago, someone suggested that 200 posts was the max for a thread, but this one has proven that to be incorrect. I do think that daniel_nyc should have the honors of starting a new one. He is truly our resident obsessed weather aficionado....See MoreRoses & Stuff #3 (2015)
Comments (168)Looks really good, Jim. How do you make your home-made compost? I make mine in the shade, just dump stuff on the ground ... it's NOT stinky. I'm going to get all the leaves I can this fall from the neighbors. Chicago Botanical Gardens' roses are ridiculously healthy, they use leaf-compost. When I took that soil-chemistry test, it stated the highest content of leaves is made out of carbon. Carbon (brown stuff) is good for the compost pile, a bit of nitrogen (green stuff) is good to speed up the decomposition. My most-blooms were when I used EarthGro Organic humus & manure ($1.26 for a 40 lb. bag from Walmart) to winter-protect, and in the spring there's zillions of buds ... way better than chicken manure. Here's a review on Walmart website for EarthGro bagged Humus & manure: 5.0 stars 4/1/2012 by oklahomagirl1989 "I made a flowerbed last year and planted 2 tiny roses into it...the flowerbed consisted of nothing BUT Humus and Manure Mix from Wal Mart.....my Roses have exploded with blooms during last years brutally hot summer when everything else died.....and since then, they have at least quadruplet in size....I couldn't be more happier about this product, in fact, I recommend it to all of my customers, since I work in the Garden Center and I always get asked about which soil is the best. Right now we are sold out of it and I am a bit upset myself because I want to buy lots more of it.....I would recommend this product to ANYONE at ALL TIMES!!!!! Here are the buds on Sweet Promise in spring when I winter-protected with EarthGro humus & manure (sold at HomeDepot and Walmart). Yay to the power of humus !! More spring buds on Francis Blaise when I used bagged humus & manure to winter-protect. Well-rotted horse manure is good too, but it's a real pain to scoop that into my car. I didn't winter-protect last year, since my kid's 6th-grade gifted-program was stressful for me. Growing healthy roses is easier than feeding a picky kid. I put money in her lunch-account, but she refuses to buy lunch from school, so I pack her lunch everyday. How do you pack lunch for a kid who doesn't like cheese, and is allergic to peanuts? Any ideas? Thanks....See MoreAll things Citrus 3 August 2015
Comments (14)Hello everyone...Looks like we are all having a great summer and getting good results! At least I am getting warmer weather this year...I had many a cold cloudy days last year and only topped 90 once..This year we hit it 7 days..What a difference it makes in your tropicals and figs...I am debating whether or not if I want to plant a Chicago hardy in the ground? The only thing is that I would probably get growth to start too late every spring since winter can linger into April...Hum? Your plants are all looking amazing....Just a HUGE wow! I am already thinking about grouping my plants together as the fall starts its approach. They are scattereed every where... Brian. I can't believe that you're still working on that greenhouse..I wish I had friends to help me out..Goodness forbid I have anyone interested in what I do unless I pay them( . Still no THUNDER storms..Nothing..Today and yesterday it was just gloomy and grey, so different from years past..I swear I live in the coast of Maine..That is the weather I get these past few years...Not like it use to be..But at least I have been getting hot without rain...Oh well..lol MIss you buddy...Brian, what happened to the explanations of teh figs I have? I hate that when you write something and post, and it's not there. Arg. Maggy I miss you too...Maggy, where have you been? I have been so sick these days but better today) Cory, I am so happy to hear you are ok. You have pics to share? I hope so. I always love them) Cory, the key is to get figs that ripen with their first onset of fruit in spring..Some are early ripers while others need long summers and hot sun which we don't have..I have two Chicago Hardy and they get LOTS of fruit, but they never grow fast enough for me to get anything. Arg. I will show you later..I had to order figs specifically for early ripening for our area..Thank you for you kind words) I hope many times often that your family is ok. Say Hi to your brother, will you? By the way, your Hoya you sent me looks great! Cory, thanks for the encouargement! It has yet to get flowers this year..All it wants to do is grow.I think I have better pull back on fertilizer, or maybe cool nights will trigger that. Cory, my greenhouse nevr gets that hot, thank God, unless I forget to open the doors, and even then no hotter than 105..Hugs Brian, I could of sworn I posted the name of my favorite Fig and the name of that one above... WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THAT THERE WAS SNOW? Are you sure you were not having a nightmare? That's impossible although with that Artic Circle being rearranged with all the extra HOT air bumping into it from the western U.S. I would not be surprised...They are saying we are in store for a milder winter, but I don't believe that for one sec..You watch...Summer will go out like a bomb just like it came in..Hot, the cold and freezes just like that..That is why I am wasting no time getting things ready for things to come in. I hope you get that greenhouse up in time and can afford to heat it. Look, if you refer ten electrical customers to me through my store front, since I an acredited to supply energy, you get yours for free..Just something to think about.lol I just looked up the next 12 days and all I see is 80's, thank God! I have been dreading teh 70's because that is when my nights start geting to cold for many of my plants..Cry..Hugs buddy...See Moredaniel_nyc

Well Peter, give me 80s, and I'll water manually (or the drip irrigation system will take care.)

8 years agoErika will bring some rain to Florida. No biggie - fortunately.
In my neck of the woods, it's all good....

8 years agoFinally the rain came.
After nearly 3 months (June, July, August) we are gettin some rain the way we used to, here in PNW: Gentle rain , No flooding not much run off, all is sucked in by the thirsty ground.
This will continue for the next five days , on and off at 50% to 80% probability.
I watered my plants yesterday after 4 day. With this rain on the top, no more watering for the next 10 days, at least.
The sun will return on or about a week from now. That is typical PNW weather that we have been missing this summer.

8 years agoWell, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful…

Mid and low 70s at night.
But of course sooner or later, HEAVY rains will come.

8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoFor those that aren't aware, Western Washington got hit by a very strong wind storm (higher winds than Erika) Saturday. At the peak, half a million in the Seattle area lost power. Mine was out for about 16 hours from noon to 3am sunday.
Here in Marysville north of Seattle here's this week's forecast:
My garden doesn't agree but my perspective I'm glad we're probably done with 80+ weather this year.
