Our windows are open and there is usually a small breeze blowing through. Low humidity except when it rains; then it gets soaked up so fast it doesn't last. I've had to turn on the swamp/evaporative cooler several afternoons, it has been so warm in the house. One needs a window open to draw that air through, so there's always one or two of them open regardless. I remember days of too high humidity, freezing a/c, etc. when we lived in New England. I couldn't take the three aitches, Haze, Heat & Humidity, so even if the a/c froze us, it was on.:-)

We're doing about half and half on inside/outside, though more gets done inside just because it is easier for me physically. Tomorrow my brother is going to come over and help me fix up a small bed and plant some annual in it. Morgan and I went to the garden centre and got some incredibly beautiful pansies, marigolds which we will put in pots. My bro will plant the stocks I bought...love their scent. I also bought two torenia hybrids.. (I see it says they like heat and humidity!) I had one last year in a pot that the hummingbirds loved, so I am going to have a few more this year. I will get a few more annuals when we get the planters out and fill them up. I want lots of cut flowers this year!
