Here in the Willamette Valley we are now in our second straight day of rain and gray skies. It is 65 F at 4:25 PM. I have not checked the forecast yet, I am saving that for after I post this. My fingers are crossed.
I have a ton to do indoors so I should not be complaining. I am also saving a fortune on irrigation! I have not watered the lawns or the garden for a week. But the veggies are not excited about this weather.
I have some small Broccoli crowns that I may need to harvest prematurely. They are not growing very fast. Tomatoes are staying green and blooms are not fruiting out. The plants are all growing, but this is not good weather to ripen fruit.
I know the sun will come, and I will be complaining it is too hot! Isn’t that the way we humans are? Worse yet I will be at the day job watching the glorious weather outside and wishing it had been that way on the weekend.
Here is wishing for the best. See you again soon here on My Little Organic Garden.

We actually visited Oregon last month where the friends that I was calling on were referring to the earlier summer as Junuary. Hope it’s warmed a bit for you and your little organic garden.

Hi Tammy, yes the weather is better this past month. My little garden is doing ok but Ive been too busy building a garden shed to spend enough time on the garden! Will post more on that soon. Thanks for the post.
