Re: temps

80F is when both I and many of my plants start to wilt...I start
moving in slow motion; don't get half as much accomplished as I do at
60F or even 70F.  Above 80 and I keep on plugging but as a slow
motion ball of perspiration - not too much fun, really.  Find, like
Donna, I am less able to tolerate the heat and humidity as I mature
here...sigh.  I've been really enjoying our cool, damp spring. 
Everybody is moaning because it's been raining and cloudy and cool
except me:-)  Perfect gardening weather IMO.  Dread the 90s that are
coming.
