Properly wintry weather at last -- though the robins, who seem to have all stayed with us this year on a bad hunch, are suffering, it's good for the fruit trees, and by now any form of precipitation is very welcome.
For us, though, the main comfort of home right now is the woodpile.
The leftover kale and collards are doing fine. The rest of the garden sleeps -- except in the greenhouse, which is wide awake. It look quite scraggly, but there are beets, onions, kale, chard, and bok choi. The bok choi looks great and would not be doing this well in the garden, so that might be something to remember ...
You have snow; we have unseasonably warm weather. The organic farm (where I volunteer) merely has to use frost cloth at night to keep the bok choi, beets, carrots, lettuce, kale, and arugula going.
ReplyDeleteNot that I wouldn't mind snow; it's just as a desert rat, I want it to melt and evaporate on the same day instead of being rained on and getting all slushy ad muddy like yours will get. ;-)
It undoubtedly will! I had people coming over ... now they're not sure ... maybe I'll send them your way ... ^_^
ReplyDeleteThat woodpile is comfort and security as well. A very happy photo indeed.
ReplyDeleteThe way you feel whenever you see your new kitchen!
