This is the one thing I really miss about California. We just had our first near-miss with frost here in Vermont, but they won’t be misses for long. I wonder if our late baby greens will grow enough for us to eat them!

Charlie, nice to hear from you. I don’t know what to say to a Vermonter other than my heart has been with you in the aftermath of Irene. I wake up every day hoping that we here in California do a better job connecting our behaviors to what happens thousands of miles away. And power to your lettuce. -Emily
