Thank you both for the clarification. When I read Hans' comment, I thought to myself, "Hmm... Well, they look pretty alive to me!" Glad to know that Dead Nettles is the proper name.
...Sounds like a potential name for a "regenerative gardening thrash metal band."
The past couple days have looked a lot alike. There's snow first thing in the morning and sometimes overnight. The mornings look fantastic.
Then, 2pm rolls around, and all the snow melts.
I spent most of the day indoors anyhow, transforming the Classroom's classroom setting into a work space again. I think things look pretty good in there.
Also: I'll be off-site for the next several weeks. See you all in March.
We'll miss your activities. Enjoy your time. See you back in March with continuing news and tips I hope :-)
