Well, we’re looking at a warm up for next week. For our area, the high is supposed to be in the upper 40’s Tues, but then a chance of freezing rain on Wed.

My onion seedlings are starting to come up so they’ll be going outside on the sheltered back porch for some sun and wind during the day.

The nights will still be too cold to leave them out, but at least they’ll be hardened off some.

This next week promises to be really ideal weather for a good sap run. The trees around here have started running from what I hear, but the cold stopped that for now. It would be good if they got a good syrup season.

Sounds good, I never grew much beyond toms and Bttrnt Squash, the former bcz there is a clear difference brtwn store toms + homegrown, and the latter since you can pretty much just leave squash alone, and it provides a lot for long term storage.

Hope I can get some cow manure.

I was thinking about planting spinach and maybe swiss chard as an early or late crop. Need to start from flowers also. Thanks be to God.
