   Every so often, it sneaks below 32F now-a-days.  But   
   the ground is not frozen.   The recent snow  the temp   
   hit 34F.  My favorite type of snow.  No traffic   
   accidents because it melts when it hits the roads.   
      
   Perfect for my garlic.   
      
   Interesting, the green onions from the store I   
   planted in my feral bin and not all nice and bunched   
   together like in the store, but wild and everywhere,   
   worse than an onion.  Make me wonder how the stores   
   made them so pretty looking.  The taste the same though
