Has been warm, 72*, and I have plants outside to spray for aphids I caught on that jalapeño pepper. Soon as the neem oil dries I will bring them back indoors. You guys still in the snow? You are so funny, Ed, chuckl, get out your mukluks.

72*????!!!! We got up into the 50's today....had a 27F for a low last night...heavy, heavy frost. Collards are make me chuckle...a heavy frost hits them and it seems like the leaves relax droopingly with an "Ahhhh, this feels so good!!!!"...then when the frost leaves and the sun shines on'em they straighten right up as if they're more alert than ever!!!! Crazy collards!!!
