Its cold out Jules
Blessed wishes to y’all Jamie, we have been lucky and the I’ve moved farther north. We will have some cold weather starting Tuesday but nothing more than usual except it will be for more days than normal. Take care my friend.
Lovenit !! Great update
I’m kicking myself for not starting hoop houses before this storm Looking forward to part 2
That freezing rain is damaging for sure, I saw some bad images from down in your area, hope things will be ok for you. we got pounded by 12 inches of snow so far and it's still snowing heavy. Glad the chickens will be ok.
The challenges of winter weather! Best of luck!!!
Garlic should be fine if planted deep enough. Hope you are staying warm Jules.
❄️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Hey there Jamie….we got 14-15 inches of snow here so far and it's STILL SNOWING!!!! Stay warm!!!!
Its hilarious to me they name the storms now. 😂 Oh fun, winter garden science projects! Hoping the aftermath won't damage the structure.
I have perpetual swiss chard in my garden that is surviving our mid 20 overnight temps. It may be down after this last night.
Those experiments are definitely getting tested to the max. Will be interesting to see how things do, but cold weather looks to be here for a couple more weeks.
