Oops-

Just looked at the forecast and temp for Audubon New Jersey...............

guess it's not really that cool there 😳

Hey Jim,
It's never cool here in the summer. Usually day temps average 85 to 92 and evenings in the low 70's Humidity is an ongoing thing here too, but at least we usually getrain in the afternoons a few days a week...not this year! I'll keep forging on with my hoses and sprinklers! LOL

...

hold the fertilizer label at 3 feet distance from my face to read it, is thatreally bad!

Really bad is when you take a photo of the fertilizer label's NPK, plus instructions. 😆 😆

Yup, that's weather change...too much--or not enough--rain.
We'd better get used to it. 👿

Right, it is gonna' do what it is gonna' do no matter how much we worry about it.... 8)

Finally getting a little break from the heat here(that means mid to upper 80s)but
of course more rain!

128f heat index today there! That must be really refreshing! Kind of like swimming in a pool everywhere you go 😯 😯 😯

Just insane 86f dew point, how does that happen??? Hope that storm didn't do any damage buddy.

Jim -

Great yard. I hope one day my yard can be as great as yours. Wife won't let me get too out of hand though. 🙁

What's that silly story about the frog jumping out of the butter if it's thrown in while the butters
already hot?????

but if you raise the temp slowly he'll stay in there 😯

Not saying you should put your wife in butter 😯 (unless you guys are into that),
what I am saying is by doing a little each year,month,day(gorilla planting)she might not notice!
😈 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈

I try the guerrilla planting trick myself. It often works.
Yesterday, however, she beat me home from work and found two boxes from Jungle Music in the driveway. 😳

Yea that happened to me once. Two boxes with palms plus another box containing a Tiki statue. 😳

Sounds like you guys need to send your packages to work. Then you can go on a covert planting mission when you get home 😆

LOL! Then I would have to haul it home on the Metro. Its really no big thing. Mrs Lord looks at it as an eccentric hobby. But there is always the inference that I may go haywire and saturate the entire yard with palms.

Which I might... 😈

I would!
Oops to late I already did 😆 Palms in your area need so little if not zero protection after a year or so anyways, I'd have a rain forest for sure. Your wife will get adjusted eventually.

I would take a trip to New Bern NC to see Gary for your next palm purchase, he has some really nice 7 gal. sabal birminghams for sale. I wish I bought more then one. That should be a pretty bullet proof palm for your place. There a awesome color too.

Bill

That would be a fun trip Bill,even if you don't buy anything-
just going there and seeing everything!

I was there in the middle of winter and It was awesome then, a summer trip would be well worth the drive for sure.
