ericstevens73 Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 All those in CA understand what I'm going through... This week 112, 113, 114, over night lows upper 80s, recorded the highest overnight low in history @ 90 on Monday night and matched it on Tuesday. My plants are dying, even with daily drenchings... Tree ferns, in the shade fried, I mean brown-Fried, dried up and dead. The grass is loving it. Tropicals, hating it... Anyone else in weather trouble??? Can someone post a picture of snow, just to make me feel cooler?

Trópico Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 I love that picture! The best of both worlds. Is that a coconut? Is it alive now? Keep em coming! Is global warming to blame, seriously? Imagine how it would be like 10 years from now. Maybe less frost, a zone higher but oh boy our worries are going to shift to summer season rather than winter! My deepest symphaties to all of you slow-cooking in the west...
