Re: Hello! Rose question...

Mine is a real cheap one, just a few dollars.  I did a quick search and found 
several around $7-8, some with a much larger range than mine.  I think I bought 
mine locally years ago. A soil thermometer is usually used by people who plant 
veggies so they don't put their palnts out too soon.  don't spend a lot and see 
if you can find one locally.  It's not something you'll use a lot and not a 
real must have for most of us.
