Fellow ChDs: I thought we had dropped the endless virus (worm) warnings on this list. If I'm mistaken, then a note like this one from McAfee would suffice: Virus Profile McAfee.com : Support : Virus Information Center Virus Name W32/ExploreZip.worm (Note: Technically this is a worm and not a virus.) Date Added 6/10/99 Virus Characteristics Drops the file explore.exe, modifies WIN.INI with run=c:\windows\system\explore.exe The worms in my raised beds aren't nearly as worrisome and despite one 42 degree night (vs Byron's 38 degree) not a single blossom has dropped - yet. The organics will be pleased that I think fish emulsion is helping the peppers fight off the chilly nights, the chemists should know that I'm most pleased with half strength MiracleGro Bloom Booster (10-52-10), not to be confused with regular MiracleGro which Byron and I believe adds too much nitrogen, for most locations.
