    Average high temperature for October is about 14° and we have almost 30 today so October is off to a great start as well

      Yeah…last month in our area, 10/30 days were above the 90th percentile for heat. August was 14/31. Even my heat loving tomatoes stopped growing and fruiting for the summer months.

      Before I went and look this up, I felt in my gut that something had changed. I worry we hit a tipping point without realizing it this year. Maybe it’s just the El Nino, though.
