Well last night the temperatures dropped down to about 2C. Hubby picked up some more floating row cover/frost blanket and we finished covering everything up. Thankfully we did not have any frost, but I’m glad to have the plants protected anyway. Tonight is only suppose to go down to 6C and after that it looks [...]
Sunday afternoon we were busy in the gardens again. We tilled up the garden patch a second time. Then we raked the sod clumps out. Normally the front garden isn’t bad for weeds, but we had such nice weather early in the season that they started growing early. Hubby bought rolls of landscape fabric that [...]
This past Saturday we were finally able to start tilling the gardens. We would have loved to start working them sooner but between hubby’s back and the crazy weather this spring we were running behind. But the weather this past week has been wonderful! On Sat. were tilled up all of our gardens and I [...]
The weather this past week has been just wonderful! So I’m following cues from the weather and starting to plant out early. The long range forecast for the next few weeks looks nice. They are saying a few cooler nights, so I can just cover up my plants if need be. These photos were taken [...]
Well it sure is a yo-yo of a spring here! For the most part our weather has been a week of cold weather near 0C, then a few days of low 20C, then back to cold! Two days ago we were having a pretty good snow shower, then today it was super hot! This sure [...]
I just can’t believe the wonderful weather! It’s in the high 20′s C here today and tomorrow is suppose to be wonderful as well. If the weatherman is right, we are in for rain on the weekend then it’s back to cooler temps. But really 7 or 8 C is still nice for this time [...]
The weather has been unbelievably nice this past few weeks! I started working on getting our garden seedlings started. I also moved my plants from the grow lights in the house out to the green house. The weather has been so nice, I haven’t had to heat it yet!
In early February a package that I was eagerly waiting for showed up. Yes, my seed order from Baker Creek! Seed orders coming in the mail are always a bright part of winter to look forward to. I posted this video a few weeks ago on our YouTube channel, but with being so busy I [...]
Well the winter storm the news had been going on about didn’t really materialize. But we did get a little snow yesterday! It started in the afternoon and by this morning we had 2 inches of fresh snow. Not a storm by a long shot, but pretty. What we have had are frigid temps on the homestead! [...]
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about our garden lately. I guess the spring bug has bit me! LOL While I’m still deciding what to grow and what variety’s I will try this year, my main thoughts are on how to make the work load easier. The last normal garden season I remember was about 6 [...]
