About to sow SEEDS of "winter" crops - radish, lettuce, beet, green

Well, I lie -- India, Vietnam, but you have to stay in airconditioned

accommodations.



Back to Alaska and another 10-day camping/mushing trip. THE

At noon yesterday, it was 88F with 7% relative humidity.



Near the ocean where you live, the heat will speed sprouting and help to

get the plants established before what we call "winter" arrives. Where

I live, this is very important because we often get night frosts in the

winter (only occasional and very light); so winter flowers need to be

established before the frosts. Otherwise, while the plants will be

okay, they won't bloom until spring.

How about your veggies? Can you protect them from Valley frost by spreading black plastic over them at night?
