Very greatful for the cooler Canadian air. Typically I do not like
the heat of July/August, and most plants agree. It is currently 80
degrees, low humidy, partly sunny in east Tennessee.

88 degrees, low humidity, no clounds. mid Willamette Valley, Oregon, about
30 miles south of Salem. Cucumbers and squash are exploding out of the
ground. Tomatoes going nutso. Eggplants doing good. Peppers not so wure.
Cabbages look like they are going to bolt. Onions huge, almost ready to
harvest. Potatoes growing like crazy. Corn hates me. Sunflowers everywhere -
whose bright idea was it to plant sunflowers?

Just substantiates the exception in the global scheme of things. Of course
that portion of the world generally thinks all is like their area, thus
global. At least based on some the replies I"ve read.
Been seeing 100s for many weeks now. Little rain. The exceptional drought
continues in central TX. Your water comes from my coastal area, the Gulf of
Mexico.

Bill,
It is a strange year here in central NJ; cool and wet.
On the bad side--I notice slugs which I have never seen in the ten years
I have lived here. Moss is growing on my back porch.
The good news is that the deer seem to be less aggressive this year
(presumably there is a better food supply in the woods), also the
onslaught of Japanese Beetles seems to be minimal, or at least delayed.
In addition most of my spring flowers are still blooming.
