The weatherman stated expect a cool front next week. One early morning next week is suppose to be 57 degrees............it sounds to me as if the fall temperatures are starting to roll in.

I'm thinking just the March/April to June. There are a few good hot weather crops for us, okra, sweet potatoes go well all summer, stuff like that. But yeah, it's going to have to be Spring. Not sure I'll be able to get a jump for Fall since i've let the garden go in this heat (weeds taking over the beds) but we'll see. We have a looong Fall season so maybe.... ;-) 1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-26262022096795431262015-08-17T23:03:06.276-05:002015-08-17T23:03:06.276-05:00It's just too hot to do anything huh?

SOme are good tips and some are a little scary, ha. It has been in the 90's the last 2 days, then we had another torrent of rain this evening. I am so ready for Autumn.
