Thank you Ratty. They forgot one record. It's not really weather ... but is I think related because of our sun ... what I call Geomagnetic Disorder Syndrome. "Year with the most brain-dead people - 2022". Soon to be beaten in 2023. A new movie perhaps: Night of the Geomagnetic Dead. Do you have a cast in mind? Who would be your leading mann? |

We had 48 mph winds all day today here. Gusting to, I couldn't even guess. I can't really remember a windier day. On the back side of a weather front. Middle Earth remains unscathed. Light winds, 70F till about 3PM, then light thunderstorms. Most strong cells went north or south of us. We pay our temple priests well. 
I've almost finished digging the new potato bed. Actually a 3-foot retaining wall I erected along the seasonal drainage, and filled with triple-ground wood mulch 3 years ago - mixed with the excavated slope dirt and rock pieces. Green onions have been growing there for the last 2 years. Yesterday and today I pickaxed it to its bottom. Amazingly crumbly soil now with large masses of onion roots and worms throughout. If the worms like it, it must be good. I'm wondering if my potatoes will have a mild onion flavor. Hopefully I haven't missed anything.
Daffodils and ground covers are beginning to bloom like crazy. Peach buds are swelling and the redbuds will soon be in bloom. For the next month Middle Earth will be a showcase of blooms and smells ... assuming no great beast from the North.
Sounds very good. I think you really need to have plenty of the natural mineral soil mixed in, don't have too great a % compost or rotted mulch, if you want your stuff to taste good. |

Sounds very good. I think you really need to have plenty of the natural mineral soil mixed in, don't have too great a % compost or rotted mulch, if you want your stuff to taste good. Soils here are developed on limestone. Lots of clay. My mix currently has maybe a quarter of its volume from the thin in-place pickaxed topsoil. May take a soil sample and look for some bagged mineral and/or lime supplements if their price isn't more than the crop value. It's an experiment. Most of my urban lot is planted with items that deer do not eat but I can.. Defending the garden without looking like Appalachia is the next challenge. It may have to be a pvc-net/wire affair with the perimeter planted with plants that deer hate. Some people swear BY rosemary ... they are said to hate the smell. Others say sunflowers ... they hate things in their face. The farm enclosure (adopted from a northern German farmer) consisting of 2x4x8s at ~60 degree outfacing angle, anchored midway to T-posts and connected with wire runs worked. Nobody ever saw a deer in that enclosure. But takes up too much space on an urban lot ... and now we're back to an Appalachia look. And then there are the pro-acrobat flying squirrels. They may have a taste for the brussels sprouts that I would like to intercrop. |

The oceans just reached their hottest temperature on record as El Niño looms.
That would appear to be a flat, outright lie. |

Thank you Ratty. I followed your link and got the entire NOAA temp. anomaly data set. It is plotted below with differences between the two. The NOAA set is consistantly 0.5 to 1C higher than UAH. From 2005 the dif is more toward 1C. From 2015, note the difference between the northern and southern hemisphere. This was reversed before 1994. Who remembers the name of the 2nd organization producing Lower Troposphere temperature anomalies.

Shouldn't be a problem for a German government, Gentlemen. My late Polish parents often reminded me of how persuasive Germans can be when they want. |

Fascinating. Playing with the graph, it seems that all of the recent cooling has been in the southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere has flatlined. |
