Well then. After a few weeks of heat and drought, now the flood. Water is literally leaking into my bedroom right now through the crack in the fire escape door. The storm is also bad news for those of us who wanted to go see the outdoor screening of Buena Vista Social Club tonight. But [...]

I picked all these green Roma tomatoes last weekend when it was cold and rainy. It just didn’t seem like there would be any more warm days to help the tomatoes ripen, so I decided to cut my losses. Alas, I misjudged. It’s going to be nearly 80 degrees today. Oh well. I guess I’ll [...]

Then on Wednesday late night, as I listened to the rain pounded outside, I saw this on weather.com’s radar map: That whole line of red marched northeast right across DC in the [...]

The forecast for this weekend is for sunny, sweaty, aggressive heat. Yes, DC is a swamp, but it’s pretty rare to have it get up into the 80s in April. But it’s good, because I’ve been waiting for the soil to dry out so I can prepare the last of my beds (which just got [...]
