Gardening is cheaper than therapy and you get tomatoes.

24 degrees, light west breeze and clear.  Partly cloudy today with a NW wind, a high of 33 and a low of 12.  Partly cloudy tomorrow with a NW wind a high of 21 and a low of 6.  Sunny Sunday with a strong NW breeze, a high of 26 and a low of 6.  Sunny Tuesday, spring officially arrives about noon, with a NW breeze, a high of 33 and a low of 13.  Cloudy next Wednesday with a NNE wind, a high of 39, 1-3 inches of snow in the morning and a low of 27.   Partly cloudy next Friday with a strong north breeze, a high of 42 and a low of 22. Partly cloudy Next Saturday with a NNW breeze, a high of 41 and a low of 23.   Snow and rain from Sunday, the 25th to Wednesday, the 28th, with highs in the low forties and lows about 30.  The forecast ends the month with some pleasant days.
    Darel had a quiet day yesterday brightened by a visit from Raymond Freeman and a trip to Corinth to fill a propane tank in cast I need extra heat in the greenhouse Sunday and Monday nights.
    Andrew pulled the snow off the big greenhouse with the roof rake yesterday.  I was going to leave it on for insulation through this cold spell but there was just too much.  Tonight after work he is going to shovel off the get together room roof.  than we'll wait for the piles to melt.  Spring looks to be right on track.  It seems that every year winter has to get its last licks in right around the first day of spring when we are thinking warm up.  Warm up looks to be coming the end of the month so we can move into the back room and the cold frames the first week in April.  this cold spell will make sure all the wood in the back room is gone!
   Today will not be nice.  We have to run the hose in the cold and wind.  We'll probably be able to get by without running the hoses again until next Wednesday.  Everything in the greenhouse looks great and we want to keep it that way.
    Have a good day, Sally
