Default On Microclimates

In article
,

Bill who has about 20 F. low for four more nights before a break. 40
F. high right now. Started some caladiums this morning.


Aren't you supposed to mark the topic OT when you talk about gardening?
;O))

How far are you from North Carolina where the Cook is in full gardening
mode? Seems very strange.

Last night here it was 20 F. and in Raleigh it was 41 F. for a low. We
are in winter.
Distance I'd guess about 600 miles.

My tomatoes have stuck their little dicots out. The second round of peas
are starting to show themselves and the Romanesco broccoli is stretching
for the grow lights.


I plan to plant late as a general rule as I have light issues aka tree
work in the next two months. Trying to enhance the microclimate.
