Default AAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!

But think how smug you'll feel when we're complaining about the 2nd
(or 3rd or 4th) week of 90+ temperatures and 70% humidity in a couple
of months.

AND two months since it rained.....
I am in Houston and its nothing to have 90 degrees plus for months, 90
percent humidity and no rain from May till August (or if it does rain its a
tropical storm thus a flood).

I do sympathize with your AAARGGGGHHHH though.

A couple years ago when tropical storm Alison hit Houston, I had just
finished my planting and mulching the day befo it ALL floated away, even
my landscape timbers were at the end of my driveway.

Weather forecast:

------------
Wednesday Night
Becoming partly cloudy. Lows 20 to 25 (F).

Our temperatures run from 5 to 10 degrees lower than the
nearest weather station (which is about 55 miles away and
about 1200 feet lower in altitude than we are).

Sigh. We'll be lugging the big pots full of veggies inside
again Wednesday. The lettuce and Swiss chard would probably
survive (covered), but I'm not sure whether some of the
Chinese veggies would.

Ain't it a pain? Moving pots in and out!
If we gave Air Miles, some of our pots would have enough to go south
where it's warmer.
Here's a copy and paste of Environment Canada's forecast for our area.
