Stormy Early-Fall Weather
As the front moved through and the winds swung around to the north, temperatures fell almost twenty degrees in less than two hours. Three-and-a-half inches of rain over the past two days combined with a forecast of rain through the end of the week certainly presents a fair number of challenges.
Delicate plants like black-seeded simpson don't stand up well to heavy rain. An old window frame provides plenty of protection and is big enough to shelter two plants. As seen in the picture, the plant outside the window has been beat up by the rain while the other plant remains vigorous.
The romaine (not pictured) withstands the weather considerably better than the black-seeded simpson, but it too has started to droop from all the water.
Black-seeded simpson is an heirloom variety of lettuce and has been around for well over 150 years. It has a very light taste and delicate texture.
