After cleaning up the dead leaves had nothing to do but go fishing. Pomps for dinner caught in 45 minutes caught on "Doc's Goofy Jig".

Ante --- We had 32F/0C three times but only for a few hours each time. I'm still surprised that there wasn't any permanent pstem damage. Except of course for the 6 young fruit bunches I had to toss.

Dean --- We may very well get hit again but I'm still planting the spring garden now anyway. Tomato, arugala and pepper seedlings for now. Later for the basil and other tender stuff.
