Constant rain/overcast here in New England, too - has been a bit of a frustrated gardening year.
Cleaned/closed most of our gardens - just waiting for a non-rain day to pull out potatoes and prep the asparagus for winter before we close that garden down.
Sunday we'll winterize our chicken coop and run, work on splitting the 2nd cord of firewood, then it's "wait for spring-time" mode.
Good news on your lemon tree - can't wait to hear a great follow-up report in the spring!
Stay warm, stay safe. Have a Happy Thanksgiving (every day)
Gardening is over for the year at Lake of the Ozarks. Now, the challenge is millions (billions) of leaves currently burying our yard and driveway.
We’re blowing them into piles and hauling some up to our wooded areas. Some piles will be burned in burn barrels. All are oak and other hardwoods, plus a few contributions from a big sycamore.
Too bad we can’t roll them up and capture their heat in our wood stove.
We won’t get a sunny day until Wednesday and even then it goes back to clouds or rain.
