  • darned weather is a problem

    here is southern california we had a colder than normal winter, and less than normal rainfall. i put off planting, but suddenly we had some record hot days, which dried everything out, followed by a return to the cooler trend temperatures. i suppose other parts of the country have these extremes as well, but it plays havoc on deciding what to plant and when. think I'll just go ride my bicycle, (but only on the warm days).
