.  This is such a true spring like weather we are having.   The temperature is 70 degrees see what happens.   It looks like it will warm up starting today and into next week.   The more humidity in the air, I can feel it. I can hear from the farmers we need heat for the crops.    More rain this afternoon….rain does make rain for sure.  Stay safe, stay dry.

KLMJ radio just put my radio show on their Facebook page.  Gardening and you… If they told me, I don’t remember but I am pleased at that.  I shared on Saturday  show on my Facebook page, so have a listen.

How is your garden doing?  Mine is on tall racks and wagons.  I love the look of all the plants and the color.  But the best thing is that I would love to see them in your gardens too.
I am here believing it or not, I need to water everything.  The little pots with dirt dry out quickly.  I am here till 6:00 and later watering to get ready for tomorrow.

Now just found this from my favorite Bob Berman, astronomer editor for The Old Farmer’s Almanac.
June 3: Planet Parade or Hype?
Then, due East, on the mornings of June 2 and June 3, you can better locate Mars before sunrise. The red planet is the bright orange “star” next to the Moon. The Moon is a 12% waning crescent so that Mars will be more visible. Saturn is also on display.
Much of the media has touted June 3 as a “Parade of the Planets,” stating there will be a rare planetary alignment of six planets.
There are only 8 major planets in our solar system. One is the Earth below your feet. One is Venus, now hidden in the sun’s glare. But the internet has been buzzing with the fact that the other 6 planets – Saturn, Neptune, Mars, Uranus, Mercury, and Jupiter – all will grace the eastern sky before sunup in the first days of June.
What’s the real story? Yes, the planets ARE truly in the sky.  No, you won’t see them with the naked eye. From our planet’s perspective, you won’t see Mercury (too close to the Sun), Jupiter (also very close to the Sun), Uranus (only with a telescope, maybe), and Neptune (ditto).
What will you see? A couple of beautiful planets: Mars and Saturn. And don’t forget, you have to wake up before dawn. This is still an interesting event in that we “know” it’s happening, but you won’t see much during the wee hours of the day!
