Inside under lights and with 75 degrees, is almost summertime in Chicagoland.

I've stopped watering mine completely outdoors, and mulched them heavily with composting Pete poop. I put black plastic on the soil to expel water from it (when the rains finally come) and thermally warm it...

It's still in the 70's. Nights are still high 40's to 50 degrees, but I know it won't be long before the cold snap and rains...

they shoulda been here by now...

lookin' like it might be a drought year already...
