Happy Labor Day, the weather is crazy!
The news & weather guys were saying Saturday that there was a possibility of rain showers and possible thunderstorms in the deserts and mountains. Yesterday, they extended this forecast to other parts of southern California, but with a fairly low probability.
It's been raining, really more like showering, on and off for the past 24 hours.
Tomorrow and Wednesday are supposed to be ferociously hot and humid, then cooling down to next weekend.
My tomato jungle is loving all of the weird weather; I'm getting at least half a dozen tomatoes every day. The rest of the plants have been less productive. One cucumber plant only produced a single cucumber, the other has given me three so far. The zucchini has lots of flowers but no squashes to date and the oriental eggplants are each making about one fruit per week.
Corwin has needed to earn money so he has been doing the heavy digging in the adjacent garden sections so I can get winter stuff planted as soon as the weather stops being so crazy.
I have actually made some headway on my long weekend projects which is very satisfying--I had a period of total non-creativity for about a month, but I'm over it. Finally.
