And Now....the GOOD news regarding weather here.

Noreaster · July 29, 2010

The temps here in South Jersey are about to fall down.....significantly. From daily 90-100, in streaks of 3+ days at a time, to primarily highs in LOW 80's, and XERO 3-day streaks of 90+ heat through at least August 15th !!

As I see it, just enough time for

many more flowers to bloom and new greenies to show, with September ripening .

Or at least I'm praying that's gonna happen.....have toms beginning to ripen, but those fruit were set early before the heat intensified. And many, many, many dead flowers remain on most plants.

It's BEEN the hottest summer on record down here....looks like nature is ready to turn the tables.

It's just getting hotter down here. Enjoy those mild days; wish we could have a couple just to give the plants a break.
