The roses sure do like the cooler weather. They bloomed nicely during
the heat of the summer (this year was exceptionally hot) and seem to
love it now. New stems popping up all over them and a fresh round of
blooms, 3rd this year. I think they like the chicken manure mix & water
I gave them tooG.

My tomatos did terrible, those in the direct sun. Our MinPins love
tomatos and I think they helped spread the seedsG. Several popped up
amongst the flowers and produced like crazy in the shade of the other
flowers. Not so in the sun.

Hmmm, high today had to be in the upper 80's, current temp (8:50pm) 75º,
low will be in the low to mid 60's. Snow, water, rain, moisture, not in
Albuquerque. Drier than a popcorn fart here.


Don't knock it. All you need is water. Rain is best, but now that
August's gone...get out the hose. No mildew; no blackspot on roses;
long hot spells for tomatoes and peppers. And that sky over the
mountains -- no 'white days' of horroble haze and humidity. Cooler in
shade; cool at night; perspiration evaporating instead of clinging
stickily to the skin. Enjoy!
