It's Time to Order the Seeds |
February is almost over and it's time to order next year's seeds. My wife and I have already picked out last year's leftovers that we can use again. It's time to get my gardening hat on.
This past Friday we had snow but no big deal, just about 8 inches. It has been a pretty mild winter from a snow standpoint. Mostly rain and sleet. My wife bought me snow shoes four winters ago and I haven't been able to use them for the past two winters because there just isn't enough snow. Where has it gone? I mean, you can snow shoe in eight inches of snow but it really is silly, you can just walk in that with boots. We always used to have a foot to two feet of snow every winter. Oh well. I got to break out the seed catalogues and start setting up the greenhouse in the basement.
We still are eating out of the root cellar. The food that made it was the shallots, garlic and the potatoes. There are carrots and beets but they look pretty dried up. I have to work on that for next year. We did manage to eat all the winter squash. The temperature in the root cellar hovers around 40-45 F. If it gets below zero F it drops a little more. It's a great place to leave cold groceries as well.
