Sounds cool. Maybe some pictures later, when you get it going?

Those space heaters can be dangerous. My ex son-in-law’s house burned due to a space heater. They forgot to turn it off when they left, and so weren’t there when it started.

I love these sort of days in the winter. I have received about 6 catalogs already. They usually don’t come in this early.

That’s one reason why a lot of people don’t use their barns to store hay. They have a hay shed located well away from the barn and house.

I'll have salsa. I just hate having to buy crappy canned jalapenos and tomatoes at the grocery store. I should have a bunch from 2013. Grrr.

Tragic. Prayers up for the family.

One of my reasons for doing an arch is simply laziness: I dont feel like tilling an addition to the south side of the patch. That tiller has thrown me before, and I aint wantin any new trips to the ER. In fact, we may do “no till” gardening this year. A youtube gardener suggests watering the garden during the winter to water the worms and good bugs to keep the soil alive, so I turned on the drip system today for 30 minutes since we have not had any rain in two weeks or so. It may not help any, but it got me outside for a few minutes, so I guess it was good.

Everything about growing/propagating
Lemon Grass (Cymbopogon citratusis, USDA Zone 8-9), which I used to grow on the Farm in GHs.

Its good to see you on here again. I hope that you will be able to play in the dirt this year. You always have the nicest gardens.
Prayers up for the barn fire people.

T Bender reporting in for the South North West region. Our weather has been insanely nice for nearly all of this year BUT
we have had less than a third of our usual rainfall and December has only seen a half inch against a normal 8 inches. We have received a multitude of seed catalogs but I have not found where Lady Bender is hoarding them. She is in great pain because of a worn out hip joint or two and faces surgery after she gets her flowers planted in late spring. I have a few photos to post but Flickr is not giving me the correct HTML code and I really want to share the heart warming gift I gave my Child Bride...

Did you mean to post a google search? Or was there a specific site you wanted to recommend? Either way, thanks.

That is just heart breaking! My surviving sister is a lover of old barns and has a small one on their vineyard in Fresno County. All of her greeting cards are Barn themed.

I meant to ask you about my winter wheat. A couple of weeks ago we had that really hard freeze, and now the tops of the wheat are browning. The shaft of the plant near the ground is still green. Has this ever happened to you?

I never till my garden. Sometimes I do a little digging. I do as little as possible to get the plants to grow. LOL

I do not recall ever seeing that. Of course, I don’t go outside when it is cold either. Winter wheat is so cold tolerant, I would think that something else is going on rather than cold weather.
Our winter wheat and winter rye is usually green as a gourd all winter.

Bright green all winter is what I normally see. We'll see if it comes back. Grasses grow from the roots, and not the tips, so it may come back. I just had never seen this before.
