From top to bottom: summer squash, cherry tomato, purple broccoli, sunflower & chard. These are all good choices for Seattle gardens. Very large tomatoes ripen late in the season, if at all. Cherry tomatoes produce much earlier. Chard was bountiful this year. All photos were taken at the Rainier Vista Sunrise Garden.
August 2014 in Seattle was significantly warmer & wetter than usual. The mean temperature was 69.1F/20.6C, a full 3 degrees higher than normal. Total precipitation was 1.81 inches/45.97mm, 0.93 inches/23.62mm more than normal. The highest temperature was 96F/35.6C on 8/11, the lowest 52F/11.1C on 8/21. There were 3 days with rain, 10 days with light rain, 1 day with hail, 9 days with fog (2 with visibility at less than 1/4 mile) 7 cloudy days, 14 partly cloudy days & 10 fair days. The good thing about August 2014 was that there were only 5 days over 85F/29.4C degrees. The extra rain helped keep the landscape green & lush. Things usually begin to turn brown in August.
