Well, even Johnny has his pants on so we know it is cold. It's colder where he is than where I am.

My latest forecast is 32 tonight, Monday. I don't think it will go to that with my solidly brick enclosed area but I can't chance all those strawberry plants freezing, so I opened a new row cover package that is 12x10 and didn't open it fully so it is three layers and put that over the strawberries.

I took the long squash off the plant and it is 20 inches long and see two more developing. Yesterday, I saw one, now there are two. Hopefully it won't get to 32 or it will be so short lived at 32 that plant won't freeze.

Yesterday, I was in a personal botanical garden (it wasn't a public garden). It is completely enclosed with a KOI pond and exotic plants, some very tall to the ceiling and the ceiling looks to be 2 stories tall with a solid plastic ceiling to let in light. It was in the 40s outside but the garden was a perfect temp. Around that house were bearing fruit trees including tropical fruit I don't know. I saw growing lemons and oranges and the others I couldn't identify. He told me the names but there were several so I don't remember them.

I'll probably marry this man to get that botanical garden and all those fruit trees. :O) :O) Don't get your hopes up, ha ha. It was a beautiful place.
