Rainfall

2nd: 0.14″
4th: 0.39″
5th: 0.42″
10th: 0.59″
24th: 0.01″
Total so far: 1.55 inches

Temperature

range of nighttime lows: 53 to 72°F (11.6 to 22.2°C)
range of daytime highs: 76 to 94°F (24.4 to 34.4°C)

Greenhouse temps Because I’m curious about the effectiveness of the shade cloth.These are the days 90°F and above so far this year, before and after covering the greenhouse with shade cloth.

Without shade cloth

Outside: 91°F (33°C) |104°F (40°C) inside

With shade cloth

Outside: 90°F (32°C) | 84°F (29°C) inside
Outside: 93°F (34°C) | 84°F (29°C) inside
Outside: 94°F (34.4°C) | 86°F (30°C) inside
Outside: 94°F (34.4°C) | 88°F (31°C) inside

I’m guessing that the steady rise in inside temps is due to the structure itself heating up and retaining that heat overnight. Also days of full sun versus partly cloudy days. Even so, it’s still better than the temps without it.

Weather Notes

We’re into our summer weather pattern where, as it warms up, rain systems come up off the Gulf from the southwest and then split as they approach the southern Appalachians. The result for us is that we typically miss the rain that the rest of the Southeast gets (rain shadow effect).

Garden Notes

The birds got all the cherries! No pie this year.
Now that the planting is done, I’m focusing primarily on getting everything mulched before picking starts. And watering as needed.

Peanuts, volunteer cherry tomatoes, and Katy

Corn and flowering carrot plant (a purple variety, I think)

Soon!

Besides processing wheat, I’ve been experimenting with making buckwheat flour from last
year’s crop. I use my power blender and sieve to sift. Does an ok job but needs improvement.

Moonglow pear

June salad: wild lettuce, daikon leaves, last of the peas,
first of the cherry tomatoes, crumbled goat feta cheese.
