I couldn’t live/garden in a warmer climate; 6 months of a growing season is MORE than enough work for me!
Starting in November, I long to see everything covered in a pristine layer of SNOW. *SIGH* We love our winter sports; snowshoeing, ice fishing, taking out the sleds (snowmobiles), etc.
I’ll go further North if I have to - no further than ‘tomato growing weather’ - but not South. ;)
I still have my old wooden cross country skis. They have cable bindings. I miss those days of judging the correct wax. Sometimes gliding along at 12 feet a step was when you knew you got it right. It wasn’t flat where I skied at either, it was more Alpine skiing.
Getting ready to do some fishing myself. This is the month for fishing here before the thermocline begins. The kitties will be happy.
My pineapple sage is blooming! So beautiful with it’s long red blooms. I was showing the sage and several types of basil to a couple of friends and my little hummingbird joined the party, lol. The guys were so shocked at my little buddy being so close to us. I told them I was an Aries, lol.
