Chef sam here, garden is winding down quickly. Temps I the 50’s-60’s the next week. Leaves are changing color and falling,. Starting to get ready for the big W.
YooperDog send some of that 50-60 down this way. It was 97 this morning when we checked after finishing an inspection, really about 1:30 by the time I checked. I was soaked & parched at the same time. Same went for Florida where we had to do one yesterday. I liked North Carolina where we had some work to do earlier in the week & it was 72.

craigrice I’m with calldoctoday . When you wake extra early to get a quick start to the day, drink a fast cup of coffee, and the heat index is over 100’F it’s just too hot. I would shovel snow over this heat. But I guess there are those who would prefer the heat The grass is always greener on the other side…

I have great heating & Air conditioning in my office. It works great! Except that it is confused. The heat works fantastic in the Summer like you would not believe. The A/C works better than any system I have ever seen, in the Winter…

Chef Well, its kinda like this. If you think the A/C is not working too good, then spend a little time outside. Suddenly you we will find that A/C is working fantastic. Chili peppers will do the same thing…

Summers are to short up here and this year it has been chaotic with all the rearranged activities due to C-19. These colder temps are about six weeks earlier than normal. We have a couple of motorcycle trips still on the books for this season, we are going to have to head south just to find some good weather. With the cooling temps though it signals the coming cold smoking season, something to look forward to.

Tex_77 where did you get your tomato strainer?

102 degrees here today, cold and snow Tue. & Wed. Guess the gardening is done here. One more hot day and I’m heading to the field in the morning to pick tomatoes to can before the weather sets in.

@Fat-Bob You must be in Montana. I was shocked when on assignment in Montana as one day it was 106 & I did not realize it got that hot there, then a few days later it was down into the teens & 20s with snow. Amazing.

I checked again just the other day & they were completely wiped out of anything canning, jars, lids, anything. Oh the only thing they had was Ball books & it looked like no one had even touched those good books.

calldoctoday Had to go to the store for a few things and the few wide mouth lids they had yesterday were gone. One big empty isle. Not sure anyone but a Star Trek fan would understand this prase, but “message Spock?”
