CULT: Weather, stalks

Linda-
I don't think they've grown too much since I told you the biggest was 11
inches.  Planted 3 weeks earlier than last year, so of course the forecast now
is to go from highs in the upper 70s through Tuesday to low of 27 on Wednesday
night.  I have lots of glass jars I use to protect dahlia sprouts, but
certainly not 387 of them, which is how many babies are in the ground.

I burritoed seeds in 5 different batches, spreading the sprout times out over
the winter to make it more manageable.  Some of the last batch, which didn't
get into the fridge until 12/21, are still sprouting, or just up, and thus
still in pots.

I think maybe we're 4 weeks ahead of the season so far.  Actually saw the
first mosquito today.
