Time for the Perseids Meteor Showers! Best night, fortunately, August 12th. Recommended snacks and beverages; boiled peanuts and wine; take a nap during the day, because the best meteors are way after midnight. In the Northern hemisphere, here's a map... I am posting this non-gardening event, because it is not to be missed!
We've watched these meteor showers every year for probably 30 years or so. Invite your friends. Find a dark spot away from town. Bring the bug spray (read the labels - find the least objectionable) and a blanket. Works best if you have (1) a pickup truck (2) a picnic table, or (c) a reclining lawn chair. Also good...when someone goes inside to the bathroom, everyone should say WOW! DID YOU SEE THAT ONE? ha.
