Thanks Shawnee!  I needed the laugh so much!  Really getting tired of snow and cold and ice, to say nothing of gray days.

My organic greenhouses DO have seasons......late fall season-the aphids are here somewhere; I can smell them.  Mid winter season-Ah ha!  aphids! Get rid of those plants.  Late winter season-yikes, dratted aphids; little creeps are born pregnant; perhaps a little spot nictotine spray.  Early spring season-the ladybugs are here somewhere; I can feel it.  Spring season-what happened to  those aphids? Look at all the fat ladybug nymphs.
 
Two other seasons:  pre-December 23rd-Should I use supplemental lighting?  post December 23rd-Welcome sunshine!  This winter I have added another season:  who put the anticondensate plastic on wrong side down?
 
Shawnee, zone 5 hearing the call of the love-sick cardinal all day but not seeing spring yet.
