Early Monsoon

It's only the last week of June and already we are in our monsoonal weather pattern. The really hot dry weather came later than usual so we only really had around 3 weeks of really hot (100 degrees + or -). With the monsoon comes lower temperatures around 10 degrees lower daily and much more moisture.

I went out to look at what the humidity was and it was registering 55%/Normal. That's crazy high! We were at a party last night that was outdoors and everyone was complaining at how humid it was. Were is our normal 10 degree/you die in 15 minutes if you don't drink humidity?

One thing that's benefiting big time from the cooler and more humid weather are my limited number of vegetables and herbs. All the herbs are doing great. The parsley that normally takes a vacation for the summer is awesome. The basil - regular and Thai - that also wait until it cools down in July/August are doing fine too.

My New Mexico Chile already have a bunch of fruit.

Last year I didn't get any until August.

And I have a whole bunch of tomatoes starting including these weird ones. Wife and Granddaughter 1.1 picked them out so I have no idea of what they are or what they will be like.
