Actually this is a little early even for us up here in the 'Great White Nort' and it'll probably be gone by the weekend ... with any luck . __________________ Advice worth every penny you paid for it.

After a few years of less than great results I decided to throw caution to the wind and now put them outside whenever I'm pretty sure its not gonna freeze. I've been bringing them in at night for the past couple weeks, as the forecasts have been for lows below 5C and I'm really not that brave , and putting them out for the day. They do seem to like it better, though I still have nothing beyond what I would call twigsai, but I'm a patient man. __________________ Advice worth every penny you paid for it.

I have my trees all safe in a temporary mini-greenhouse that's keeping them all above freezing... -Cody from Calgary __________________ acoustic company gardens

As if the leaves starting to turn colors wasn't depressing enough. Where's global warming when you need it? Oh well... guess I still have it better than you guys way up there

The story changes a bit from source to source, but its still pretty funny. P.s. Some pretty raw language in it if that bothers anyone. http://lalaland.cl.msu.edu/~vanhoose/humor/0605.html enjoy!
