Yesterday, I did an unscientific experiment. I wanted to see if the “mister” made a significant difference in the temperature for tropical plants on my patio. At 3:00 PM, it was seven degrees cooler; at 4:00 PM, six degrees cooler; at 6:00 PM, six degrees cooler.

Excerpt from June 28th blog:

…set up a“Mister.”  Birds–and plants–love a fine mist.

Remember an earlier message when I said I might have sabotaged my garden? The shade of tree limbs was sacrificed for sun for many planters. The tropical plants on my patio are suffering from too much sun. Leaves are turning yellow on the Elephant Ear. I think the mist will make the plants happy. (“Mister” was a North Carolina purchase.)

<<< Add seven degrees for “feels like” temperature.

With the exception of thermometer in sunshine, I believe my experiment documents the temperature on the patio, under the “mister,” is six to seven degrees cooler.
