pirl said:I managed to finish the JI garden in 3.5 freezing hours, wearing two winter jackets and insulated gloves. I even did the path. Glad it's done with dropping temp's.


You did good!!

I still have some mulching to do but the weather has not co-operated.

Only 35 and that will be the high...no sun and pretty windy. I need to tie down a small tree I have on the porch it keeps blowing over. Ice on the chicken waterer so the heat tray got plugged in.

Sunny today but only 33 and windy. I played hooky from the garden and made a big pot of potato leek soup to warm the soul.

One inch of snow due tomorrow. The irrigation guys who do our plowing were busy placing the stakes around the perimeter of the driveway yesterday so they have to be expecting snow.

It's always a rude surprise to find we don't have heat and it always seems to happen when it's so cold outside, never when it's 50!
