Field note · July 2025

if you don't have a bluetooth thermometer with localized historical data

Oak Summit Nursery · Southern Manitoba

if you don't have a bluetooth thermometer with localized historical data, you just won't know the crazy peak the temperature can reach. it was a full 5C / 10F colder in my backyard (in southern Manitoba) than the weather app last night, we hit 3C in the middle of july, I think at that temp the pepper plants experience some cold stress. this is a thermometer hanging in a tree in a low part of our yard about 4 ft off the ground, and it's 150 ft from the house where it connects to the wifi through a small device that boosts the signal.
