Growing Tomatoes

complain about the weather

14 years ago

The weather reporting sucks. A couple of hot days in Portland and that gets all the attention. Meanwhile, the weather in the rest of the country is cold, rainy, and weird. 3000 record low temps. I know I don't have as much cause to complain, being in z9b, but if it wasn't doing internet reading I wouldn't know how bad it is. Global warming? Bah! I want to pitch a BER tomato at Al Gore, and the so called " news media!"

I'm with you! It was hotter here in June than August. And all the tomatoes were late coming on, then they all came on at once, now it's gotten cooler at night again and the days are getting shorter so they've slowed down again. And we have grasshoppers here the size of volkswagons and they're eating EVERYTHING
