I was just reading in a Joy Larkcom book that there is an alternative method to hardening up, and it is a traditional japanese method that apparently some commercial growers use too. Apparently physically brushing the seedlings to mimic the effect of wind has the same effect!

I can see how that would help them cope with wind and the like but I don't see how that would prepare them for a drop in temperature, did it say?

Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

Which one are you and is it how you want to be?
