Since I have listed this as unknown, it is really hard to guess. Therefore, I am posting the first hand count only. Subsequent hands wont be posted in order to be fair to everyone.

Hand #1 - 12 fingers

Yes + 6 months is March 1, so a lot of cool weather in between. I'm going to bag it soon to hold the heat in. (to speed it up) I would rather it be April 1st and not Sept 1st right now! so far 2010 has been frost & freeze free. Hoping it continues:)
