Wow Willie!

I'm jealous!  No wonder half the people around here go to Texas in the winter time!

I suppose now would be a good time to plant radish and lettuce seeds - just throw 'em on the snow and ice.  :-)

I have planted peas in February and people said "Hey, look at Marie, she's planting her frozen peas!"

Can't trust Jack Frost until May and sometimes not even then.

I hope you guys are getting out the ice season.  Here in Central Texas,
we are well into our spinach season, most onions are planted, some
potatoes are planted, and we are thinking about field tomatoes.  We may
have had our last frost yesterday morning.  Our median last frost date
is early to mid March.
