After almost 2 weeks of warm weather and what looks to be another week of warm weather ahead, we can't help but wonder if those 4 days of frigid temps really were all of the "winter" we'll be seeing this year. Time will tell if we're running ahead, behind, or right on time with the temps!
Dave rustled up some help moving some crape myrtles that he crossed 2 years ago. These were his favorites out of the many he grew. They lined both sides of the pathway between our house and the barn. This is a well traveled path, and has housed many different projects over the years- hugelkultur beds, pumpkin patches, strawberry beds, blackberry propagation, and many other things. In an effort to simplify some of our projects on the farm, we decided to eliminate this garden area, let it return to grass and plant the trees. It sure will be a lovely walk to the barn!
Dave's seeds from the swap arrived! A few have already been sown (Pink Banana, anyone??), and the rest are sitting on the counter patiently waiting their turn.
Trish's laundry room has taken on the familiar "January Chaos Look" as one wall is housing the grow light setup and already stuffed with flats of peppers and eggplants. We'll move them out to the greenhouse as each tray is ready and more will take their place.
Speaking of Trish, she is having a very hard time resisting all of the plants that are beginning to pop up all over town. This happy looking (no name) orchid jumped right into her cart. It sure brings a spot of happy color to the bathroom and will help us get through the next few weeks until warm weather arrives for good.
