Wille your just trying to make the rest of feel bad, the forcast for the next
three days is snow, ice, snow.  The winter here in western Iowa has not been
good all winter, thank god for greenhouses or I would be in the bug house.  

Been very busy the last week getting the rest of out herbs planted, and I
transplanted some plugs to 6" pots yesterday, they are ready for sale.  The
way it looks right now we are in for a really long winter and a very late
spring, so I don't want to get to carried away with some of my other planting
of vegetables for a while.  

The down side of greenhouses, called propane, thank god for contracts, cash
prices are way over a $1 a gallon at present my contract is for .72 so that
helps.  I do heat mostly with fire wood,using air tight stoves in the house
and greenhouses, don't use much propane any more.

Phil from Iowa
