Sard: I tried to send you a PM but couldn't. Off topic, but be sure to remove all mulch from your garlic in the spring. Last year I had a "brainstorm" and put a good deal of mulch around about 1/2 my garlic. Thank God I only did 1/2 because that half all rotted. I guess garlic doesn't like mulch in the growing season.

As for global warming I was able to grow eggplant peppers and long season tomatoes this summer. They all grew great with my new secret fertilizer. I shredded the Bush/Rove talking points, and used them for mulch So much BS they grew like weeds.
