Does that mean this year has two "longest nights"? Find a friend and make the most of them, sez I.
Loss of a pine tree, two Springs past, really improved late day sunlight availability to my garden but it's still deprived this time of year. Morning shade from nearby trees is compounded by the fact that (the few) deciduous trees casting morning shadows have not yet begun to lose leaves to any significant degree. No, not "global warming" but just a typical Florida "winter".
