Obviously put in your location. I just tried a copy and paste to excel and that worked.

Links for local and national weather stations are on the top of my computer bookmarks, as well as on my cellphone. But gardening and the weather go hand in hand, you'll have to play with whatever the weather throws at you. :-)Mark and Gazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09427245730390252976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485248345006754419.post-67835788170581995302011-04-11T20:37:48.460-07:002011-04-11T20:37:48.460-07:00You are right, HolleyGarden.

Gardening has taught me a lot about weather and seasons and climate, but just not patience yet:)Mashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15996950576326655813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485248345006754419.post-56388913876306009082011-04-11T20:37:26.987-07:002011-04-11T20:37:26.987-07:00Yes, I think gardeners are meteorologist wannabes ...Yes, I think gardeners are meteorologist wannabes and vice-versa! The weather has been cruel here lately. From highs in the 40s to the 80s in a couple of days, and then back into the 40s for another stretch of cold.

I imagine it's because of space, but we would like to see rainfall totals going back decades.HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485248345006754419.post-88434465019244849372011-04-11T17:58:15.066-07:002011-04-11T17:58:15.066-07:00Farmers, you forgot farmers.

I like that gardening is connecting me more to the natural forces that rule our life even though we might not be aware of them so much anymore. It is a great idea to keep a rainfall record on your blog! <br />By the way I love the photo with the red rose and the birdbath.
