Getting in shape fast can get you injured in my experience. It's probably better to ask how one can slowly get in shape and maintain it. One old school method is exercising at a heart rate of 180 minus your age. That according to the author of this plan keeps you comforably at your aerobic...
Huge hail is also a THING in Colorado Springs. My niece had her garden wiped out recently by hail and in the past has had to replacr her roof due to the hail. The only thing that happens in s. Oregon is wildfire which is again rearing it's head.
Do you pick up many ticks while working with your plants? Reason I ask is that I got a bite and lyme rash which I successfully treated. I have always been tick wary but I'm even more tick aware now.
Well looks like we are going to dodge a bullet in S. Oregon. The long range forecast has eliminated the chance for rain August 12 and now August 27 is the first likely day. Whew!!!!
Settling into the summer routine here in southern Oregon. Sun, sun and more sun. According to the Accuweather long range forecast, there is no rain forecast until showers August 12. I know all about long range forecasts but this might just be true.
Interesting discussion about direct and indirect light. I have been thinking that here in the clear (summer) west we have the advantage of pure sun, unhindered by clouds, as opposed to back east where some days are cloudy or mostly cloudy.
