Baltimore Heat Wave
It's supposed to be in the low 80's for the next couple of days here in the Baltimore, MD, area. Then a rain front moves through and fall begins, temps dropping into the upper 50's. No frost in the near forecast, but it's possible around here at this time of the year.

No rain in sight but we had a heavy dew before daylight, at least the fence and the grass were damp. No relief in sight. |

We've had very heavy dews for the past few nights. When the light fog lifted this morning, the Sun shone on the dewy asparagus plants, giving them an interesting glow. http://s558.photobucket.com/user/Pav...cbo7d.jpg.html |

.... I did some cement work on Sunday for the same reason; great minds think alike. what did you work on? it looks to have cured nicely. i'm letting it dry out now as we have cold nights coming later in the week. when they poured the slab for the garage they did not slant the front lip where the garage door is at downwards to drain. so at times during heavy rains it has leaked water back into the garage. last year i put a narrow ledge to keep the water out behind the garage door and that mostly worked other than a bit of it did not stick to the slab and so i tried again later but that part was too late and didn't cure right and also did not stick. the new version i did is much wider and looks to have stuck. also looks much nicer overall. today was beautiful out there, i got the tomato plants buried so that garden area is 2/3rds done. still have to get the cucumber area cleaned up/weeded and all that buried but that will go much more quickly as it is a much smaller area and the soil has already been conditioned well. songbird |
