    You must not live in the city where you must remove the snow on the sidewalk and your personal walkway OR ELSE.

    This week our morning temps have been in the low 20s. I leave for work at 6am and where I work in on probably the highest part of DC. So it is always colder there with the wind. I didn't feel the need to wear a knit cap, or gloves and didn't even zip up my coat. I accumulated to the cold faster than normal.

    I has been wet & cold by ETX standards for the last several days here, but today and the next two were all sunshine.

    What did I do? Chores around the homestead. They always need to be done when the weather is clear.

    I received the last to the parts for my widget and began construction of five of them.

    Very correct; I live in a rural part of NY where there are no sidewalks, street lights or sewers.

    Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.

    Luckily I grew up is very hot humid weather. I have lived in extreme cold and extreme dry heat. I am OK with all of it.

    The problem is that we get used to it so when it goes down near freezing we think it is Antarctica. And I grew up in New England.
    I live on the beach so we get extra relief from the water temperature in the winter and summer. We pay for it in the spring and fall when it is 80 inland and we are are 10 degrees colder in a mist.

    It's time to do it, based on moon phases, but too early based on average last frost date (don't know your location). Above ground crops should be between dark of the moon and full moon, root crops from full to dark of the moon.

    The last frost date here id April 15. That means seeds should be started 6-7 weeks before then, other wise they will out grow multiple containers, or become leggy reaching for the sun by the time you can plant them in the ground.
