Wordless Wednesday: False Fall?

Cold nights but hot days keep us guessing here at Gardenerd HQ. We’re planting seeds in the ground, but our seedlings are still under grow lights until day time temperatures fall below 73 degrees F. False fall continues to tease us. Here’s some inspiration to keep you going as we wait for the real deal.

This is what it feels like waiting for temperatures to cool down enough to plant.

While some hardiness zones have skipped fall altogether and have gone straight to winter, we’re still hanging with false fall. Let’s enjoy the process while we wait for fall, or next spring.
