I was tempted to call the county road department to complain, but that would just give snowplow man an excuse to harvest my mailbox every time he comes through next winter.

The robins are taking their time this year. We’ve only seen a few scouts so far. Been seeing huge flocks of grackles passing through for the past week. I expect the robins aren’t far behind them.

I’m hoping to find time to get some lettuce started in the greenhouse this week. A heating mat under the bag of potting soil should be plenty to keep baby lettuces happy at night this time of year.

For growing salad greens I use my patented, 'Bag-O-Miracle Grow' and a 1 cubic foot storage container from Walmart.

Or the flats Beau made for me last season.
