   It got awfully windy here too. I've been postponing setting   
   out my lettuce and vinca plants, but they're getting crowded   
   inside under the plant light.   
      
   From this morning's weather radio forecast, it sounds like   
   we're going to be dumped directly into summer next week   
   with temps going into the 80s. Who wants to bet those   
   poor lettuce plants will go directly to seed )do not   
   pass go, do not collect $200)?   
      
   Nyssa, who finds it frustrating sometimes to be a   
   gardener, but is bored out of her mind if she skips   
   the growing season
