Halfway through December

Halfway through December

 

Has anyone else’s gardening skills improved during this quarantine like mine have?

I planted myself on the sofa at the start of April, and I’ve grown bigger ever since.

Our 2021 garden catalogs should start arriving momentarily. Always good reading and dreaming on a cold winter night. Our first 2021 seed order was placed last weekend and I just got an email saying the order is on its way! Yay!  Our seed order has arrived!  More seed catalogs on the way always on the hunt for the perfect tomato.

Snow yesterday 12/17 they were saying 6-10" then upped it to 8-12" then 12-16" and we finally ended up with a whopping 20" of snow.  We spent a good couple hours cleaning up the snow, we snow blow the front yard so that we can pull the cars up, and of course we clear the deer yard too.  We were a little worried, our plow guy usually shows up early then at the end of the storm, he did come right as the snow was stopping around 3pm so all's good.

The deer yard is surprisingly bust with the deer coming in from 2-3 directions.  

The deer trails, all lead to the Deer Yard, you can see the trails in the PIC this morning. The older I get, the smaller the Deer Yard gets...  I had just started the pellet stove that's the puff of bluish smoke you see in the top right of this pic.

The dogs are having a blast in the snow

We have some clean-up to finish up today, the cars still need to be cleared off, and some shoveling at the workshop too.

Have to start thinking about vehicle inspections this month we can get inspected up to a month early...

 

Stay warm...

Later!
