Karen, agree with your post #229, also I theorize that the more leaf mass enables more photosynthesis and thusly more sugars and flavour. Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Hope you are all settled in and have a master plan in place for your new gardens. Will you do any raised beds? Not for early warming so much as for shedding rainwater, lol. Hope your babies do as well down there as they did in the north, and it looks like you will have plenty of volunteers to ensure they still do well in a short season.
