From Sweaty to Sweatery.

10-4-10 SHORT HILLS: We ended up with 4.2 inches of rain from the storm and got another 0.05 inches last night. In about a week we have had almost 5 inches. I guess that takes care of the drought. All the transplants look fine, how could they not with all the rain?

I bought two hydrangeas on Saturday at The Farm and planted them yesterday in the spots vacated by the lilacs. It’s always a good time to buy garden plants, the nurseries are discounting to clear stock for the spring. Plantings done now have four to eight weeks to settle in before real cold hits with little chance of getting too hot or too dry.

The warm air brought by the tropical storm vanished with the sunshine and it’s been sweater weather since. Vermont later this week.

Soon it will be snowy and chilly in your area, perhaps it's time to fly south.
