30°C = 86°F<br> Does it ever go over 30°C? That's a nice temperature... unless you have humidity, then it can be pretty insufferable.

Thanks Jox. For the breakdown I didn't know it was different than us as far as the way we calculate temps.

Thanks for the coffee, Eirene. I'll have a cup to warm me up. Cold this morning, with temperatures in the high 20's, (not sure what that is in celesius, except that it's below 0).
Beautiful morning though, and I had a cup of coffee out on the front porch while watching the sunrise. Heavy frost and the sun coming up over the trees made the grass sparkle like thousands of tiny gems; all white, yellow, gold and blue. Yes, blue! Wow, it looked like fairies spinkled the lawn with fairy dust overnight. Too cool.
You work in a controlled atmosphere greenhouse, Eirene? Nice. I love working outdoors, but there are times I wish I could stay inside. Spring is my least favorite time to work outside. Rainy, grey, and cold, and there are always customers who feel the need to engage in long conversations about what tree will fit best in their yards, and want and in-depth detailed explanation of the virtues and disadvantages of each. They, of course, when they're done and we are soaking wet from standing outside in the rain forever, get to go home and change into dry clothes and drink hot toddies by the fire, while I have to spend the rest of the day soaking wet, and chilled to the bone.
Is all good, though. Balances out in the end, because I'd hate to be stuck inside all day, and enjoy what I do.
Eroc - so sorry about the stick. Makes me feel bad. Perhaps, rip it out and start over? I've got lots of other recommenations. BOLL.
Later all. Enjoy yourselves today.

Good morning everyone! I am going to start a pot of tea in the event Xengab can make it in. I'll just have a cup or two.
Hope things are well with you and your husband, Xengab.
Phalon, you will probably start throwing things my way when I tell you I was out in short sleeves last night at 10:00. More of the same today and tomorrow the high 70's, maybe 80. And better yet, I am off tomorrow. I think it is time to dig in the dirt a little.
The stick. I think I will still try to nurture. Not quite ready to give up on it.
Have a Happy Easter! The sun is shining!

I use this converter... just post your temp in one of the two boxes and then click on the page outside of the box, and it adds the temp in the other box. I have it saved/bookmarked to my favorites.
So..: 20°F = -6.666666666666667°C<br> And: 20°C = 68°F<br>

Hello, hello.
Eirene, what is binding? A type of propagation, like grafting or cutting? Hhmmmm....I don't think I'd like working alone for 4 to 5 months. I like to talk too much, and don't find myself interesting enough to carry on a conversation with me, myself and I alone.
Eroc, I admire your stick-to-itiveness where it comes to the stick, and because I feel sort of responsible for your stick-in-the-mud, let me stick my neck out and offer some nurturing advice. BOLL-are you ready? Go get yourself a product called Plant-tone by Espoma and feed it. An organic slow release fertilizer. Or if you prefer chemical - Osmocote - again; slow release. Deer problems? A stinky fertilizer called Milorganite - again organic because it is made with sludge from an Ohio sewage plant. Keeps the deer away because of the smell. All are good applied now, and again in the fall, and can be used on anything in the yard.
Xengab, hang in there.

Cool Beans...Glad you are well. I will try to stop in more often now that I finally got a new computer. My old one blew up after the hurricanes out here last year. I'm still learning how to work this grrl, but so far she is wonderful. I noticed not alot of the o2 crowd are around these parts. Does the food have anything to do with it? I hope not cause I am starving. I want something sweet but it is way too late in the real world so I will settle for a tidbit here...Peeking over the counter to see what is cooking. Is that a doughnut? with sprinkles. Oh I have to have that. Laying a couple dinars on the bar I grab my tasty treat...Mmmm

As for the sad news...may the memories of the good lives and times flood your thoughts when you need them most.
