I thought about it Mike then saw Wed-Thurs and decided not yet. Want to limit the shuffles and at least 10 day forecast of above freezing. Lugging the citrus etc... just about killing me as it is.

Nice Mike! I actually left all my trees out over the winter (in 5 gallon buckets) and they all made it and are budding out. The very special ones friends sent in 1 gallon got to come inside.

Hi Tami, good to see you around a little more. I am certainly glad I didn't leave anything out this winter. We had two nights at 6 and 8 degrees. Glad all yours did well.

Been wondering about you as well. I'm back for awhile, had to do the trimming and sending I had promised. Everything else is going very well, how about you Mike?

Ruuting, I was just about to send you an email about sending your cuttings. I think you just answered my question. Will hold on a while longer. They are beginning to wake up though.

Hey Mike congratulations. I don't recognize that stuff on the side of your driveway...
Is your snow tan-colored?
I almost remember something similar to that in my yard.

James and Pete, that cart is a back saver. It was also a good deal at Tractor Supply last fall.

Mike, Looking good! Hope the weather stays warm for you and they get to stay out. Like Pete said, It will be a while before mine come out.

Hi, Watching yesterday the weather forecast. They say we get unusual Sahara air with sun and blue sky - but still around 0°C at night and in the same way, New York gets an unusual polar blast with snow for tomorrow :( It is still no time for the people for the shuffle ticket but surely to buy a sled !... Keep it positive !
