Got it, Trisha, and thanks.

Thanks for everyone’s suggestions – planning for this year’s chores will help pass the time till spring arrives.

I’m getting all tingly with anticipation. Either that, or I’ve had too much caffeine today.

You can even buy pot seeds on the net, if you search. Not from burpee.

Handy – we have “volunteer” pot plants popping up every year, but the local expert tells me they’re the “male” plants, and that we need “females”. What’s up with that?

The females have more THC in them. Th’ males are smokable, and they’ll get you high, just not AS high. The males also are spindlier, so you get less leaf per plant.

Not that I have any PERSONAL EXPERIENCE of this, of course. I heard all this from my brother-in-law’s dentist.
