These so-called “shooting stars” are bits of space junk from the tail of the comet as they enter the Earth’s atmosphere about 90 miles up at speeds of 130,000 mph. The friction of entering our atmosphere causes the particles, some no bigger than a grain of sand, to heat up to temperatures as high as 4,000 degrees. They will be more frequent during the early morning hours.

As for the garden, plant fall crops for good yields of fresh salad greens and peas which will thrive with the cooler temperatures of September.
