Yes , we should be having 50 degree days and mostly not freezing at night. Oh well , we just happen to have gotten a couple of cool weeks at the wrong time.

Oh wait , no its global cooling! :)

Crocuses were already blooming.
Spring is a relative term, but mainly when high temps are consistantly in the 40's, it's spring!

nope
well not for me....
it's like a personal thing
when the first morning arrives
that i hear the ROBIN song
the one that they start the morning with....
that for me... is day ONE
but my weather watch is for when i can more safely
begin using the non heated greenhouse again...

we should be above average, barely, by the middle of next week, the long range temps from the cfsv2 model is showing the winter queen is not ready to relinquish the scepter any time soon

Better get tested for new bird flu and change your avatar to a dusk mask. And stop posting as it might infect anyone that reads this thread.

Best friend lives in Tulsa. Tornado alley. Some of those storms are scary. I got to enjoy one a bunch of years back but lucky it did not touch down in our vicinity. Wall cloud was very impressive.

and turned it loose in the greenhouse for bug control.

one year speaking about frost

when i was growing lettuce commercially
harvesting 100 heads per day

tomato plants were getting HUGE -> 300 easy

it was 95 outside, 110 in the two greenhouses i rented
and i thought spring was here!

so i didn't wait and trans planted all the tomatoes into

the 1/2 acre garden ....then we got a frost and wham all dead. :hs:
