It is currently 32.5°F and I have to run out and remove the sheets from my plants before they get faked into thinking that it's spring. Yes. I did go out last night at around midnight to dance with sheets. I carefully walked on only a small portion of the new cool-deck. Just enough to get to the garden areas and back. I tested to make sure that things were dry before I ventured forth. It seemed firm and dry and I didn't see that I was causing any damage...of course, it was pretty dark. The temperature when I got up this morning was a balmless 29°F, so I'm glad I made the effort to cover my poor plants. I hope things warm up soon. #1 son is expecting some warm weather for his winter break. This is not swimsuit weather. The weather in Minnesota is probably colder. I hear that they've had snow. The way the weather is shaping up here, I wouldn't be surprised to see a bit of snow. A blanket of snow might warm things up. We turned our furnace on four days ago. I'd rather be opening windows.
