Hi John - and everyone else too

WARM winter?  This is warm?  I know we're warm compared to the rest
of the country, but brrr I'm freezing in the evenings and night.
It's usually in the low 40s outside my house in the later evening.
Maybe I'm in a cold microclimate or maybe I'm just a wimp.  Actually,
I am much colder than I was last year.  It probably has to do with
the fact that I successfully lost over 40 pounds this year - all that
extra fat must have been insulating me!!!! Good riddance to it.  I'd
rather be cold.

We don't have natural gas piped in to our neighborhood, so all
heating has to be electric and that is too expensive on top of all my
flourescent shop lights.  Sometimes I get way too cold and turn on
the electric blanket though.

When do you usually start seeding your pepper, cucumers, squash etc
in CA or zone 9/10?
