I love global warming!

April 21 in the city beautiful, Orlando.

91 degrees, sunny, blue, sky puffy clouds..... 91 degrees in APRIL!

Today Rufus and I enjoyed the first harvest from The Pleco Garden.
26 sweet 100's, just enough for a lunch size panzella salad, and 3 six inch zucchini. Guess what I fertilize with? Fish manure rocks!


Of course when the ice caps melt I'll be aqua farming :dive: but, I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

:hi: We just moved to Kissimmee from Wisconsin 2 weeks ago and boy what a change! We used to complain about the cold and snow and couldn't wait to head south, but my goodness it's barely April and already in the 90's!! I have a strange feeling this is just the tip of the iceberg! How do y'all do it?

We have air conditioning! :cool:

Sunny Florida heat beats snow and ice and day.

Welcome to town!

Yes, but with this wonderful Global Warming the south east US will get hit with more Hurricanes that are more powerful every year. The midwest has already been hit with an alarming more Tornadoes. Yes we are getting warmer winters and springs but storm seasons are going to get worse.

'freckles, the tip of the iceberg already melted!!!! And the answer truly is airconditioning!! My mom lives in Sarasota, I try not to visit in August anymore; it's unbearable!!!!

Ha, where I live, we got part of a hurricane and weve had thunderstorms worse! we almost never get tornadoes. the drawbacks are... winter :sad:

I still like my midwest. If you don't like the weather, just wait: it changes.
I like all the different seasons...snow..ice..I love to drive in it. It's a challenge. I like a broiling day in the sun spent in the pool...I got it all right here! Spring days spent outside weeding flowerbeds...mmm. Beautiful fall foilage. The tornadoes are a pain. It's not like a hurricane where you have some warning..sometimes you just have a few minutes. So far I've been lucky and not been in one.

Well, here in the central-south of England, it's a lovely spring afternoon - I'd guess at about 16C (that's 61F - luckily the one C to F conversion I know without having to dig out a chart!). Nice if you are out of the breeze. Everyone is out doing their gardens, filling the flowerbeds with stuff bought at the local garden centre which will get killed off in the next frost (probably a couple of days away) ...

Extremes of weather are fascinating, but I am sooo grateful to live somewhere where they pretty much never happen!

Right now I'm sitting outside the garage with the laptop, just watched the sunset, and there's a nice cool breeze!

Welcome to Kissimme, I'm just a couple miles north of you in south Orlando.
There's an aquarium/fish store on Donegan Ave, in Kissimmee. It's not much of a LFS, but its worth a look in case you didn't know about it...

We live on the Texas gulf coast. We didn't get a winter this year and summer has already started. I'm dreading July and August.

I went there just last week. I wasn't too impressed. I guess because they mostly deal with Saltwater and Cichlids. They did have some nice looking Discus ;) . I was looking for ottos, cardinals and a female bristlenose. Anyways, thanks for the welcome! So far, we've done the beach thing, went to Gatorland, did the airboat rental thing and now we're thinking of what to do next. Disneyworld, Universal & Seaworld will have to wait till we save up enough!

just wanted to point out that global warming is a crock. the earth goes through natural warm periods and cold periods, and we are still coming out of the last ice age.

not to mention that every night all the plants on the planet start taking in O2 and putting out CO2. and every day, they do the opposite. all the plants on the planet create more CO2 than the cars. the planet has very good coping mechanisms for our stupidity.
