Rainy Season

Friday afternoon
We have had many cool and rainy days here for the last month or so.
The garden LOVES it
Our lawn is our version of lush*
We are still having the fairer weather too some times both in the same day
But best of all it is having the same effect on the Gypsy moths** that hot and humid weather would and activating both a virus and a fungus that kills them. I'm really grateful that we won't see the extreme defoliation we saw last year.

* I like that word.
** This name is problematic, may I suggest a new name: European Colonist moth

    europeans raise a formal protest(LOL)
    i am getting used to a new climate and weather where rain is more frequent and plants do not fry.however there's much to be learned about frost and fungi.mind you mine's a pot garden, container one not smokable one. lol
