Well, the asters I just planted are very dry. If it doesn't kill then, maybe it'll make them stranger -- er, stronger .

give'em some cider

I'm leery about doing that, because cider is just a step away from being vinegar, which kills many plants.

Millennium hand and shrimp!

I witnessed a mirage this morning a large yellow object in a cloudless sky a bloody rare thing that is here

nice!

freedom of information act is sunshine continues unabated for a period of 14 days, on the 15th day - it will be taxed

Its a wonder they dont charge solar power users

the gov' wanted to end subsidies for solar power panels

There's a woman in Spain who claims she owns the sun, and has a right to remand fees from everyone else for using the rays.

I suppose if Zeus and Appollo agree, she may have something there.

What do they have to say?




Only a week to go till what's ordinarily prime planting seadon here begins.

Drought water usage prices have been terminated, but water usage resttictions are still in force.

Ten forecast is hot dry and sunny.

Long term seasonal forecast, last I noticed, is still pessimistic, and I am.

I think I'll wait until at least the first major seasonal storm until I begin any planting.

That probably won't be along until mid September, if it comes.

There were no major seasonal storms the past 3 years.

Just try to convince me that the ridiculously low current oil prices, the Saudis flooding the market and the U.S. oil companies doing the same ("drill baby drill") isn't at least partially intended to prevent renewable sources from becoming profitable or even viable. As soon as all the U.S. subsidies for renewable energy, electric cars and such expire oil and gas prices will sky rocket.

its blow'in a gale and the tent is standing up to it great......... just sat in my chair with a glass of cider and gin, another great day in cornwall

Sounds like the perfect holiday

Do the heavy gales make the corn wail?

a wailing wall of corn

Well, Cornwall has Crying the neck.

we still have the wind here but nice and dry and nice

Even when it's blowing rain at you?
