Re: Dropping to 19 degrees here tonight!
I'm in coastal Alabama and temp is forecasted to drop down to between 17 and 21. That's for Mobile and I'm 12-15 miles south of there. Lower elevation and cold air sinks, but closer to the Gulf. ...

Re: Red Lady Papaya Blooms pics

Re: Wintering Question

Re: Turmeric
