Bleak Weather

We are experiencing a cold front here in northern Colorado. No rain, just overcast and much cooler daytime temperatures.

Here is part of my garden after being ravaged by hail. I think it will recover for the most part.

The worst looking zucchini was struggling anyway. Fortunately, I covered most of the tomatoes with a sheet, and so far the elk hasn't discovered them.

Every day the sunshine state, beginning around 3, or 3:30, has a monsoon thunderstorm. The plant life loves it. It interferes with my bike ride because I ride late to avoid the sun. Today we had two big storms separated by about a half an hour of sunshine. I am not really complaining -- I know many areas are desperate for water. I just have to plan better.

Wow- you energetic folks who still cook and garden exhaust me!

comment by dragonflyby on Aug 9, 2013 2:00 PM ()

I'm barely cooking, and that garden practically takes care of itself.

Sending hugs and best wishes to you, dear Dottie.

Your tomatoes look much better than mine!!!!

YouKnow picked out a lemon tomato plant, and it has struggled along on the brink of death. I am about to put it out of its misery. The basil did good for awhile, but developed some kind of mid-stem rot and died, so I pulled it out.

well you go from having a pet fox to a pet elk! I knew some creature would come adopt you!

I half wish the elk would hang around, but if it did, only a matter of time before all the garden got eaten. That was the nice thing about the fox: he didn't do any damage. Darn! We miss him so much.

Plaudits for your gardening efforts! I've yet to even attempt one.

The raised bed set up cost hundreds of dollars, and a lot of man hours, but I think it was worth it. I think the man who did all the work agrees, but I'm not quizzing him about it.

Looks like you have another every day visitor

Hasn't been back. I think she got separated from the others, and since she's one of the few from herd that has a collar, she needed to find them.

Love tomatoes, and love elk.

comment by tealstar on Aug 8, 2013 3:50 PM ()

I'm looking forward to the day I start harvesting cucumbers. Hope you are doing okay down there in the sunshine state.
