Doing the Happy Dance!

Pah. Went up to minus three last week, people were out in their shirt sleeves exclaiming it's summer at last.

Then it even rained for a few hours... after ice pellets, sleet and snow. And froze again. Twice. People were digging out their cars with pickaxes.

And then followed up with some arctic gales. Oh yes, the 'thundersnow' system is due to hit us next, tomorrow afternoon, in one form or another. We get everybody's leftover weather!

And then some.

The soil in my greenhouse containers is frozen solid. Only leeks are surviving in the frozen ground. It was over 50 F in the greenhouse one day, but only thawed the top inch or so of soil. Major deep freeze! Hope it killed the last pest!!!!!
