just rolled outta bed a half hour ago (went to the M83 late show, then watched the last few innings of the world series when i got home). if there was any snow in rockville, i missed it. it was drizzling when i came back last night and weather.com says that our overnight low was 29 so i'm guessing it snowed lightly at some point, but it's all gone.
ever since the hurricane rolled through here, we've had nothing but crappy weather - rain, clouds, and more rain. this crappy end-of-season weather has had a huge negative impact on our garden's output. we have a lot of eggplants and tomatoes that never ripened and ended up rotting on the plant because they didn't get enough sun to mature. carrots aren't sweet, most squashes didn't produce fruit at all, and cabbage and brussel sprouts went nowhere. we doubled the size of our garden this past spring but i'm not sure if we produced any more than we did last year. i hope this just an anomalous bad year, and not a sign of things to come because of climate change.
