Hi Darkman ! Great to hear from you ! It’s been a while. I hope you are feeling better. Yes my hoop is hanging in there but you know I want something bigger and better !!
Mr. Texas I agree Satsumas do fine as low as 18* F. IF the sats are in a dormant state. Here and probably where you are it can be 80 degrees at Christmas and we can get hurt with a surge of cold air in less than 2 weeks. Also late freezes can be a real problem.
18 is about as cold as we get but I’ve had 14 degrees a few times and I can remember single digits twice in my life. I’m almost 66 years old and single digits are very rare here. 14 is not a common occurance every year at all but it happens way too much !
Darkman, Millet asked me for your number a while ago, maybe about when you had a bad spell of health. I think maybe you had changed numbers or something. You might have felt so bad you didn’t want to be reached ! I remember Millet was trying to get in touch but I couldn’t help. I haven’t heard from you for a while !
On a little different note, I’m thrilled we are finally in March ! When we had cattle the old saying was February shakes em but March takes em. March can still have some brutal cold days !
