Looks like no freezing weather here for the next ten day. Keeping
my fingers crossed. Set out my onions yesterday, over 100 started
from seed. Then planted about 150 pea seeds. I think I can still
move.

Today I will start my tomatoes in the greenhouse. If I get moving
before the rain starts I may set out my broccoli and lettuce.

After that I will be very thankful to get to my water exercise class
tomorrow. I can move more in the water without pain.

Then I think I will read a couple of books.


Just when we thought it was over ... tonight's weather prediction includes
low temps tonight near 20°F , sleet , ice , and snow . I'll be covering
those newly-planted strawberries for sure ! The wild garlic is up , but
should be OK , and I noticed that one or more of the walking onions that I
planted in her flower boxes survived .
Right now it's raining , supposed to last all day and turn to "wintry mix"
by late afternoon . There go any plans to work in the garden or bring in
firewood today (sigh) , I guess I'll just have to go play out in the machine
shop .


Looks like at least 4 inches of global warming this morning.

Whoopee! Should make it the 2nd snowiest year ever recorded in DE.

Another foot would make it number one.

Meanwhile I've seeded my toilet paper roll pots with tomatoes.
