I really don’t think this lemon is going to be happy here in the cool rainy northwest but it was a gift from our son & his wife. A Meyer lemon might have been a better choice

I received a pair of new cedar duck boxes from a Minnesota farm and home store. They were made in Green Bay.
I plan to put them on posts in front of the rip rap on our lake shore.
Bats we have lots...

A reminder....Sevin kills bees....they will come to flowers that have been sprayed and croak. Someone got carried away with the Sevin....and our bee population shrunk to nothing.
Try your hand at pollinating. Fun thing and it does work. I tried it on my pumpkins.

Got leftovers? Here's a most bodacious sandwich---perfect for holiday leftovers.
The Japanese Wanpaku sandwich-----colorful vegetables add to the delicious leftover turkey, ham....etc.
Layer shredded carrots, cabbage, sliced tomatos, avocado, hard-cooked eggs, whatever leftovers you have on hand.

Easy-to-use crop rotation chart from Better Homes & Gardens.
I don't always follow it to the letter, but if disease is an issue for you due to a small space, rotating helps!

Mine usually don’t bloom until February, too. But by then I really, REALLY need something blooming, LOL!
My Paperwhites are just about pooped out; wish I had more to force, but I didn’t buy as many as usual for some reason.

Jealous! I’d love a Lemon Tree, but don’t have any good place for it in the winter months. :(

I had a bat house for years my dad built. Never got any bats, laf. We took it down a year or so ago after i found out a friend of mine got bats in her roof. Cost her a great deal in clean up. So I got a little spooked trying to house them on my little plot of property. Laf.

My Resolutions (although I just call them “plans”):
1. Grow 70 or more “Bigger Better Butternut” squash. This is a Carol Deppe variety, and was very hard to get hold of. She introduced it at about the same time she stopped filling orders. After much searching, I found someone who had bought a packet from her in-person and grew them out. They sent me over 100 seeds :) I hope to offer it to Baker Creek, as well as sharing seeds online next year.
2. Grow at least 20 plants from my pumpkin-breeding project. 2 of them last year were sweeter than sugar. I’m hoping to stabilize that trait.
3. Grow my own luffa gourds.
4. Try out 3 new melon varieties and see how they do.
5. Figure out a way to keep the weeds to a manageable level.
6. Build lots of trellises.

If you have a problem with squash bugs or plant diseases, I wouldn’t recommend it. Otherwise go for it, but keep an eye out for problems.
