Well we have another year behind us. Spent the last day going through all my seeds and tossing old ones( any more than 2 years for me ) , seeing what I may have missed etc and now ready to go after a very small 23.00 order just now so did not miss too much. Well not tossing giving away to some that put gardens in with their kids etc since many will still germinate just fine so if you plant them heavy are fine to use and a huge milk crate box off to the mainland to my sister for her and her gardening friends
The way things are going I figure that will be the first of March I will be planting here
Like seriously WTF is going on 10 degrees again today the one load of snow we did get last week all gone after the first day of rain
Never in all my years living here have I seen so much water in the ground. Am now over 30 gallons coming up over the footer into the chimney clean out and caught in my set up and I don't get more than 3 gallons a year normally
Looking at the french drain from the house this morning and a full 4" pipe flowing which is usually what I see in May
In fact out last night January 16th
getting yes night crawlers and got a ton to freshen up the old worm farm here praying we may see some ice this year and I get some smelting done
Don't know for sure but IMO if doesn't get cold soon we are going to have more bugs and weeds than we have ever seen in our lives in the garden
The old garlic I just look at it and shake my head as I cover and cover and cover it and it keeps growing up through. I bet I have 12" of straw on it now and no idea what that is going to do to it
Oh well guess I could have that terrible freezing rain my sister is still fighting on the mainland so not complaining
Sure helps with the heating of the old house however
