    We have had night time temps in the 40's this week. This morning it is 45f. :eek: Do you have any idea how cold that is to pick sweetcorn? Dripping wet and cold...! :eek:

    Agree....not good for tomatoes. I am having the same weather.

    Just watch....we will get hot, hot, hot, and all the millions of tomatoes will ripe all in one day. Then I will be doing the can, can, can....

    One year, when I didn't have a veggie garden, many years ago, I bought 800 pounds of tomatoes. I did it in two trips. They were, you pick your own, for 10 cents a pound. That was work...I shared my sauce with my MIL. :p

    It would be nice if we had more even weather...

    It was 48°F here two mornings in a row, and rainy. It sure felt like fall! I have dubbed this month 'Augtober' because it has been so cold. My peppers and cucumbers aren't very happy out there...

    Brrr! It has been cold here too. I have begun thinking of August as being two parts summer & one part fall.

    Well, it is 2:20pm now and very nice out...what I wouldn't give for some moderation here. All Summer has been this way. The toms are starting to really show some stress. I hope I can get them through to Fall. I can't even grow cukes. The cuke beetles are decimating them as they pollinate. :-x :scheming:
