You call that miserable ? We got up to snow on the ground and low 20's ,
snowed all night and all morning and the roads are covered and more of the
same coming our way later this evening , I told the wife to call in to work
... I grew up driving on snowy roads , but the roads in this area get icy at
a glance and a slide off the road up here could end up slidin' off a
mountain .
My seedlings are doing great , 'maters over 6" tall now . As soon as we
get a break in the weather I'll be bustin' butt to get my hot
box/mini-greenhouse built . I have a growing problem grin .

Today was the first day that I could get to the greenhouse, what with
snow 3 times in the past 2 weeks and temps ranging from 3°F to about
30°F. DH was not the most prompt about getting the steps and walks
cleared. To top it off the germination on the onion and spinach seeds
was poor. Got them moved to the next size tray. Tomorrow I will
start some lettuce and herbs. In another week, probably tomatoes and
cucumbers. I think my vegetables will be set out late, seeing as how
the weather has started off so bad this year.

The garden will be small. My back is recovering but I can't predict
what I will feel like in May. Things that have not prospered in the
past do not get a chance this year. Got to go see what the rhubarb is
doing if anything.

Here's hoping this year will be successful for everyone.


It has been so far but then we get ANOTHER summer before the end of the
year.
