well 5 days of freeze, with 4 nights in the low 20's, i did not fair to badly.

the bananas in the hoop house are doing great, the only green i have in the yard.

one thing of an interesting note; my sweetheart, goldfinger and lady finger that i planted last year are mush halfway down. they are all 2ft. tall. but the mats that i took them from, which each mat numbers in the 5 to 12 range, are all solid at the top. with the mats ranging from 5 to 7ft. tall. just a guess at this point is, the bigger mats got fertilized thru out the year and the ones that were planted this year got very little fertilization.

well anyways. i have cut off the cigar leaves off the ones that had them, and i cut off the first 2 leaves at the p-stem on the ones that didnt to promote any new growth, which i expect to see in the next few days with near 80 degree weather.
