LOL! Seems like you’re gardening on the other side of the WORLD from me!

Our night-time temps are still below freezing, so while I NEED to, I still can’t move peppers and tomatoes out to the greenhouse. MAYBE next week. Maybe.

My worst fear is that we’ll have one of those growing seasons that goes from cold STRAIGHT to hot and humid. It’s happened before, it’ll happen again. :(
