Interesting, the dought conditions around the eastern half of the country.
AOL reported on a weather summary that northern Vermont had the driest summer
since l933. We here in the Hudson Valley have been rained on repeatedly
making it a good garden year with the exception of the 90 degree+ weeks just
past. One day we hit 100 degrees which is not normal here. Apparently we
have some rain not fallen elsewhere in NY/New England. The garden needs the
combination of rain, sun and cool nights. Here's wishing you all get some of
the rain soon.
