Finally a ground-warming forecast

My screen capture could only fit 9 days. I transplanted many S. minor seedlings so at least the ground is warm enough to drench them with daily water.

Why I will never move to Wisconsin. 4am-

I still want mid 70'sF although I'm seeing a lot of 80'sF . I'm not ready for summer yet . I know my plants are but I would like more comfortable weather for a little while longer .

In NH the Bradford Pears , or maybe that's a star mag , are finally flowering . They've got to be at least a month and a half behind here . High there 54F today and 29F tonight .

My forecast is a little cooler than yours. Hey? I'm not complaining! I'm not crazy over 80s day after day. 60s and 70s are just fine with me. As long as the daily highs are over 60 and the nightly lows are over 35, things still grow.

I hope the image displays. My first time using TinyPic in a long time.

Nice forecast. It's finally spring. No frosts for a while but it's been chilly. My 15 day shows highs in the mid 60's-80, and lows in the 50's and 60's. I love this weather.

Me too! Except for the weeds. I'm already in it.

I've seen some of the pictures out of the California lately and the hills look so amazingly green!

I've always been one to get chilly easily. Once it's 88 and above, it's play in the water weather. I also love it for the Sabals.

I like 70s if I have to be in a suit or in long sleeves.

I'm still using photobucket.

I don't know how you survived school there! Of course that's coming from someone who went to school in Miami. I've asked you this before but I have the worst memory. Are you originally from the Northeast?

That's a great forecast! The longer days are going to help a lot too. I couldn't imagine dealing with Wisconsin cold this late in the year. I wouldn't have the patience!

It would just take so long to get everything started.

You can definitely see where the rain was. Here is from this morning.
