#humidity

In Buenos Aires, humidity is a year-round presence, but in the fall and winter it becomes a battle to the death, as it’s a terrible nuisance. As I move things around and clean like crazy to prevent mold,

Вже другий рік я намагаюсь виростити із присланих із французької Бретані гілочок справжні кущі гортензій. І постійно у мене щось не так: то послухала недолугу пораду, то грунт не той взяла, то не той матеріал

I've been doing it wrong for a while now... whoops!

They say it is very important to have a good night's sleep. But if our room is surrounded by a lot of dust particles and the air we breathe does not have enough humidity, then it is again not good for

Seems like the heat and humidity finally broke. It’s just so hard to function for work or play when it’s so hot.

The heat and humidity are back again. It is no fun because I can’t work or play outside for very long. It is also hard to stay hydrated. Oh well, hopefully it will break by the weekend.

When I visited the polilymnio waterfalls some days ago i was able to take some pictures of an Lizard that was enjoying the wet conditions near the waterfalls. It was lying on a rock and enjoying the sunrays

I remember a time when I used to look forward to summer. That time is not now :)

Some powdery mildew formed on the ethos xxx and started to catch up the others plants in the tent. Unfortunately, to tackle that I did scraped and cleaned the whole tent, then mixed with some micronized

On Wednesday I made it out to the Big garden to finish the weeding around 6:30AM. It was still pretty humid but cooler. There’s no carrots again this year. They had been doing fine when planted. I just

On Tuesday my new helper didn’t arrive until 6:30AM. After putting eye drops in Larry’s eyes and patting him a lot, I had gone to the barn and loaded the coolers into the car and gotten the Kubota and

So I got a phone call about 11AM on Monday morning from the animal shelter. They were concerned about Larry. When we were there on Saturday afternoon, he seemed to be doing fine, active and seeking lots

On Wednesday morning I realized that this was the only day I could get the mowing done. It had last been done, partially, on July 3rd. With over 10” of rain in the last 2 weeks, the grass (and weeds) were

On Tuesday my new helper got here at 6AM and we went out and got the cold frames consolidated in one. Then I fed the seedlings and she started the weeding in the Big garden. When I finished I started at

On Monday I was determined to finish these curtains while it rained. And rained. And rained. I liked them when I saw them in the photo online, but the reality was less pleasing and took a lot of work.

By Sunday morning we’d gotten something over 6” of rain in the last week. The humidity was still very high but the temps had dropped into the middle 70’s. It was supposed to rain all day. My brother had
