Et tu, Yetta?  I, too, took advantage of today's clement weather some
100 miles north of you to groom two seedling beds and one established
bed, and I found some clusters of aphids on one plant. Did them in with
a few good thumb strokes, but was irked to see them at all.

I also took the opportunity to feed the two seedling beds by laying on a
carpet of Rabbit Chow. The earth in these beds is depleted, and hasn't
shown much improvement with the addition of chemical fertilizer, so we
will see what the Rabbit Chow does.
