So I don't know whether to say to you that they're all like us or to say to them that you are one of us. So I'll just say that we all like to talk about testing the soil for planting time but that you and Margaret really do it. Catharine used to test soil temps the old fashioned way until her neighbor invited her to move. Then she started using more than just her bare-bottom. At least that's what Jimbo said and what reason would he have to lie? Liz
