Ahh--I love 'good times'. I'll bet the evening air was hazey of lingering BBQ smoke and the aroma of good food wafting thru the soft evening air everywhere in town. Ahh--no better enjoyment!
I checked the soil temperature in the seedling cage today. It continues to drop slowly, now reading about 31'F or just slightly below O'C. I expect it to drop another degree or so yet before it starts slowly rising about middle of Feb. I finally got about an inch of snow yesterday morning, otherwise a snowless Winter so far. A very dry Winter here in Southern Wisconsin.
