Weather
Perfect field weather today.
Cooler weather = bread baking season. My partner made Sourdough specifically for stuffing. Excellent priorities.
Cooler weather today meant I could finally cleanup the backyard garden. I can’t believe how hardy pepper plants are. Most were still alive despite a few months of zero irrigation.
Good morning! The weather in Northern California is starting to feel like fall. 😍
I love fixing cracked main drip line tubing and a bad pressure regulator seal in 100°F weather. I took this as an opportunity to remove previous temporary fixes and an unnecessary valve.
Yesterday’s max temperature at my Orland, CA station was 115°F.
Covered up the avocados again in advance of today’s 110°F weather. Every time we do this it gets simpler and better. Wrapping the sheet around a ladder is genius.
No surprise why I spent today processing raw photos. Cool that Carrot Weather can report on my weather station.
40 tomatoes harvested today at just over 7 pounds. During cooler weather a few weeks back they managed to set fruit, so lots more on the way. Our peppers, grown for mainly hot sauce, are ripening nicely.
Ooof. Though I have a suspicion my weather station measures higher than it should. It topped out at 111°F today.

I like the rust color of dried out chamise flowers. I don’t like where this fire season is headed.
MeteoBridge Email Weather Alerts & FastMail
MeteoBridge reports my weather station data to all sorts of services. To be rid of IFTTT, I finally set MeteoBridge up to send an email if certain weather conditions happen. And FastMail, to my surprise, has a rule Action for notifications! Yeah, definitely don’t need IFTTT anymore.
We planted all our indoor pepper and tomato starts. The Serranos looked most distressed prior to transplant 🤞🌱
We got some pea-sized hail today!
Started prepping the garden rows today. Great weather and perfect soil moisture. Was surprised how well the electric tiller did. 🌱
The preceding sunset was way more picturesque than Jupiter and Saturn 😜
Sunset during our isolation vacation at the North Coast of California.
Moonlight over the Pacific. Above the moon, Jupiter and then Saturn.
Sundown at Trinidad, California. We’re hunkered down here for a few nights, completely self-sufficient and not likely to go anywhere. Not a bad choice with this view. I have a feeling this is the last time we’ll risk going somewhere until vaccinations.
Good morning. This morning’s sun rise almost makes up for my neighbor being obsessive with their sheet metal shelters and sheds.
