Wind has died down, but it was very strong this afternoon.

BOY it is really windy out.  We are kind of protected from the west wind, but it is still blowing strong. I watered this morning and I am glad I did because the plants would also be moving if they were too dry.  But I can’t water till the wind goes down because it would be flying across the wagons.  Boy is the dirt flying, and that is hard to see for sure.  I am going to take some pictures and post tomorrow of some new plants we have here at Becky’s Greenhouse.  It is now 5:00 PM and the wind has died down a lot.  I wonder if it will start up again because the hourly weather has it going down around 9:00 PM.  It looks like wind tomorrow also but the temperature will be 71F(21C)  now the temperature 74F(22C).  It was humid this morning, and also overcast so didn’t seem like summer heat.  But no rain out of all of this. Stay safe as this weather is changing.
 
Australia friends and family for Friday May 16, 65F(18C) partly cloudy for their Friday. You wonder what time it is there now 8:00AM while we are at 5:00 PM Thursday.  Enjoy, and stay safe
 
I had my first gardener buy the collard plants.  He said he had them in Montana and they made it like we would wilted lettuce with vinegar and bacon.  You should give them a try in your garden. He said very good.  
 
Swift’s Greenhouse dropped off another load of perennials, annuals and vine plants like cucumber, squash, zucchini.  I will unload the carts tomorrow, and hopefully find room for all of this.  Perennials, a few annuals, and now the vine plants is what I bought in, but the rest you see was raised out of the greenhouse.
We are moving more and more outside for your shopping experience. The plants are getting hardened off this afternoon with the wind, and the warmer temperatures.
I see a plastic container being blown across the lawn.  I will need to get it before it gets to the neighbors. Hope all of you are staying safe.  We will have more normal temperatures than it looks like for the next 10 days so that is good.
