5. The Surprising Ozone Paradox In a counterintuitive twist, the man-made ozone hole has actually shielded the Antarctic interior from global warming. The loss of ozone strengthens the polar vortex, trapping freezing air over the pole and preventing the rapid melting seen in the Antarctic Peninsula.

It's been so difficult to harden off seedlings over the past 9 days or so. First, there was the sudden subzero wind chills of the #PolarVortex, then it was raging windy, then we had a record-breaking #HeatDome, then it was raging windy, and now it's super hot again! 🤨😤

Anyways, I put some cabbage seedlings out yesterday, and they stayed out overnight. I just put them in the shade because it's super windy and 79°F.

I have a whole other tray of beets, more cabbages, and shallots that need to come out too! #gardening #hardeningoff
