Plants have not had a chance to harden off.

Even though it's not below freezing, tender tomato plants aren't going to like it.

Tropical Storm Arlene infected kudzu plants in Florida between June 8 and June 10. During that time, the storm moved rust spores into the Gulf, and a subsequent storm moved spores into Mississippi and Alabama, specifically George County, MS.

The good part is that not all of the buds are open. If the bud is closed, it will take more than 33 degrees to damage them. Those that are opened could get burned.

Still, I always felt I had an outside chance because I had been training well. I have been running 100 miles a week until the last two weeks. Then I settled down to long, easy running. I felt the spark and spring coming back to my legs.

It was really special. I think we have a real good chance of having more success this year.
