 The hot weather has passed. A cold front is moving in from the west, and
fog came in from the south last night (extremely heavy fog). The rain we
have had recently has kept plants happy, since i didnt see any wilting
like they sometimes do if they arent watered and a hot spell comes by.
Pollen counts are in the 2,000 range (1,000 is considered extremely high).
I hear pollen counts have gotten into the 4 or 6,000 range in Altlanta!
Seems everything decided to bloom at once!


BTW dave, would you have considered the original post on this topic spam?
