You're welcome, David. And I hope you grow sweetpotatoes this year. By the way, love your website! Looks like ya'll have a lot going on...lookin' good to me! I'm impressed.

Ken, yeh, this has been the mother of all winters, hasn't it? I watch the weather pages several times a day and see ya'll are about to get another blast, then it moves up here (ice or snow predicted Tuesday night/Wed morning.) As for that Alaska growing, I've always seen pictures of huge "everything" growing there...cabbages, flowers, root crops. I guess it is the long daylight hours, which goes against the idea plants need a certain period of darkness to properly produce, eh? I suppose plants up there get acclimated to the long hours of daylight, using the less-strong light of the day to rest and the brighter light to grow. Any input on that (w/out taking us too far off topic?)

Shoe (finally off to figger out supper...long day here!)
