Question of the day...when to harvest your sweet potatoes?
The only thin I have to add it most varieties take about 90days to make decent tubulars. The tops of the done ones many times will push up out of the soil..good for snacking before your ready to dig it all up. Then I usually wait til around Thanksgiving & try to dig them all between then & Christmas.
Guygee~ Two years no freeze? You may have a potential county fair winner..biggest or oddest living in your yard.

Happy growing :O)
Love a good sweet tater, hot from the oven with butter and, maybe, a shake of pumpkin pie spice.
Looks like I'm 6th. I did manage to get a first this morning at Shore's. It has been quite a while since I've managed that!
The blue moon was fabulous last night. We were nice and clear, too. As it first rose, it looked really big and was a lovely golden colour.
Brew beer?
Okay, now that I can do!
Happy September to you!
One calendar page closer to "why we live here" weather!
"The breezes taste
Of apple peel.
The air is full
Of smells to feel-
Ripe fruit, old footballs,
Burning brush,
New books, erasers,
Chalk, and such.
The bee, his hive,
Well-honeyed hum,
And Mother cuts
Chrysanthemums.
Like plates washed clean
With suds, the days
Are polished with
A morning haze. "
- John Updike, September
Spathy~ You too!
Guygee~ Fair is March.
Bug~ I found myself out there soaking in some of the blue too.
Rob~Looks like some good crafting & canning too..
Pros~ Love the poem.
Happy September everyone with white rabbits, abound, around & in your town..(X3).
This lurker finally joined WU and will still mostly lurk as am newbie on weather descriptions. I have noticed in your postings at JM's blog, that you truly see larger pictures and 'kythe' the systems. I may from time to time ask you to 'splain things.
am lurking from Sarasota btw. blessings and all that!
Hubby's terrible coughing woke me up and since my moody internet was connected, had to pop in. Praying antibiotics make him better, never seen him this sick.
Send some vibes back... :)
srqthymesage~ Welcome out of lurkdom! Great to see new members. Feel free to post what ever. Clicking on pics in the entry will usually open that page, animation, etc. There is alot of good folk that can answer questions here.
Sarasota is like my backdoor when it comes to tropical systems & days the wind comes from the west. Always feel free to share your weather spotting here.
{{{FINN}}}~ Sorry for ya'll. Hope he gets well soon. Too much bad lung this year all around.
Heard from my Aunt in Tylertown..
We finally got electricity back on today. ...... out since Wednesday noon. Really no reason for the wait except there were other areas they had to work first. Just some kind of problem at the transformer at a neighbors house down the road, something that was fixed in less than 30 minutes. No structural damages or trees down here. about 15 inches of rain. The pond was very low and now it is out in the yard toward the road. It is good to have a full pond again.... hopefully it will last through the winter at this stage. We all are healthy and lived thru it all. Could not believe that it sat there over New Orleans like it did. A lot of water damage in that area and the coast. The Bogue Chitto River is up drastically and has put a lot of camps underwater, in fact it was over the road at Dillons Bridge (the way we go to Bo's steak house in La.)
Heard from Donna & Skip. Slidel was hit hard. They still have their place but have friends that lost about everything.
Thanks for the update on your family.
Glad they are okay.
Leslie is huge, like bigger than Isaac. She's only 1/2 filled in..
OSCAT
Thoughts out to Richard Bach..author of Johnathan Livingston Seagull. Wrecked his plane & is in serious condition.
A cloud does not know why it moves in just such a direction and at such a speed, it feels an impulsion... this is the place to go now. But the sky knows the reason and the patterns behind all clouds, and you will know, too, when you lift yourself high enough to see beyond horizons.

Phish's summer tour is over. It was awesome.
So how big will Leslie get? Thoughts, pictures..a winner could even be declared.
Square miles? Leslie looks bigger than Texas. The central red dot on the rainbow map is comparable to a medium sized state such as Colorado.
Leslie easily fills a five degree square of latitude and longitude.
Saffir-Simpson Scale? Central pressure? If Leslie is like Isaac, these numbers will provide a poor estimate of the scale and strength of the storm.
Maybe it's time to try something like the Hurricane Severity Index.
It might but wouldn't be as fun.. Just how big. It can be in meme form even (though not required). I wouldn't get anymore mathy than miles across. I'm not being payed to judge this so conversions from hectares to furlongs probability won't happen.. Compared to states & degrees of lat & long are good, better than miles across even..
Aub~ LOL.
If she stays over water, Leslie probably won't bother most people.
AND...there's pics of your grand-gourds, elsewhere. And yes, you CAN trust that link.

Got all the fruits and veggies dry. (why am I doing that) Will likely have to start over when it rains later. Gonna need more towels!
Mowing almost complete.
Looking for something to demolish. Swinging a sledge for a while ought to help with the weight loss. Also good for stress.
:o)
Have a great day!
I much prefer the demolishing.
Funny stuff Aqua!
Yesterday I was attempting to clean my office and get rid of some stuff. Told Angie there was a big trash can in there and to put anything she wanted to get rid of in it. Reflected on that for a moment, turned around and said "Anything except 'My Stuff'"
She laughed. I've learned to be careful how I phrase things around here!
Click image for current loop.
Yeah, LC, I'd say that easily meets the definition of Gigantic.
Gonna be one heck of a wave maker.
(Gonna have to dry off those veggies all over again!)
Been watching all that stuff south of here and little storms blowing every which way. Took my eye off the radar for 10 minutes and poof! One appears right overhead.
Might get away with no irrigation this week either!
Bogon~ Yeah hoping she will stay out to sea & we can have a little fun with the size.
Rob~ I went with pick apples but substituted passionfruit. Got a gallon or more.
Aqua~ Your fat lady disappeared! She was awesome. I was going to call the size of her left..nevermind.
Oh & I refuse to be responsible to what ever happens to your life for following the moon. You should have learned your lesson that month you mention where you tried to do it all:)
Ah..grand-gourds:)
LowerCal~ NICE!
Brair~ I just happen to be frying up some hashed sweet potato for my chicken egg, home-bread & garden Casserole. I threw some in:)
I'm gonna say 16 5deg lat/long boxes big of clouds...
I wish you the best in both if it's referring to you.
Actually, I have been through the desert on a horse with no name. Well, I did end up giving him a name, but I can't type it here!
Later!
I like barely over.
The one that came up after Rob's Horse With No Name was Weather Report...1978. They are grooving.
I was wondering about that Skye. Thank you for that information! Maybe some of that moisture will make it down to Ft Myers, so I can have my first offical rain measured in my new Stratus I got from aqua9 and rainman! (Fingers crossed.....)
I wish this stupid computer would play Utubes! :P
Remind me to stay away from Aqua when she's packing knives....:)
Ylee~ That Storm Report is like 2 hrs long. Nice background music.
I thought of you when I was traveling & would get in here on notmyipod. I'd just set it down while it took a minute or two to load. Faster than waiting on TV:)
TRMM of outer bands of Leslie. Click pic for quicktime movie.
Got my very first measurable precip in my new Stratus last night, 1.46". I think as soon as I get into a regular pattern of checking the guage I will join CoCoRaHS. I understand you don't have to report in every day. Are you a member?
Eyes on post-Leslie to possibly move north to a position between Iceland and Svalbard, pulling more ice out of the Arctic Ocean. This years record-smashing low has been partly caused by "Fram Strait Flushing", and was really accelerated by the "Arcticane" in mid-August that broke the Arctic Ocean freshwater cap. Time of year for surface re-freezing north of 80 degrees but the ice is still disappearing from bottom-melting and the flushing into the Atlantic. How low can it go?
I was staring at the local radar a lot yesterday. There was at least three times that I was thinking Satellite Beach was in for some drenching rains, an inch or more? But all three times the storm lines split just west of Lake Washington or slid off to the south. I had a whopping 0.04 inches of rain in my gauge this morning from all day yesterday. Disappointing and not nearly enough.
I keep wishing for rain on the main, and people get really annoyed and make side-swiping comments, feeling their own obvious superiority. One kind soul was nice enough to wumail me to suggest I take a ride down I-95 and look at all the water, as if he was whispering in my ear that I had a rip in my pants and I should cover up. They do not understand how different this rainy season has been in the local area of south-central Brevard compared to the flooding in many other areas of the peninsula. Our rain had come in short heavy bursts, but interspersed with long dry spells, leaving the soil too dry and the vegetation suffering.
Looking forward to next week's cool front! Cheers!
P.S. At least I got four hundredths yesterday, I see KCOF got zero, their eighth straight day without any rain.
We've had severe thunderstorm warnings two nights in a row. PB Gardens, Wellington and Acreage can't take any more rain...
Ants running crazy again and smells like TS here. Can we possibly get a named blob? NHC giving 40% chance and gfs pointing at FL.
Lake Okeechobee must be already ok with water levels but I haven't checked. If more rain is on the way, will they manually lower the water levels? If they do, will the extra water run towards inland PB County?
