I am assuming you two young gardeners are mentally stable enough and not predisposed to leaping off large berms left by the county snow plow for this bit of Humboldt Bay news. I’ll wait while you take your Meds.... OK, that should be time enough to report to you that I bundled up against the 58 degree day with brisk CLEAR skies and ventured out into our garden to spread a mulch on the Garlic patch only to be stuned by the green sprouts of 4 rows of freshly planted cloves of Chinese Pink and Fireball garlic...

We have a winter snow warning for midnight through 6 pm Thursday. It is currently 30F and snowing already. Predictions of 1-2 ft of wet snow depending on track of the low pressure front and where it forces up-slope flow. Looks like that could be here from the looks of the radar.

There will be big snow berms that are always left across the entrance to my driveway. Instead of jumping though, I think it would cheer me up to travel to someplace warm (Eureka?) and see if I can rake away mulch and use green shoots to find where to dig up new garlic varieties. Then I can spray some skunk spray around so it gets blamed on the usual suspects!

You call 58 degrees “brisk?” Ho-boy, you have lead a very sheltered life. “Brisk” is defined as 15 degrees w/a 30MPH wind here in man’s country.

If my garlic can break thru 2” of frozen turf I’ll send you photos but don’t wait on the mail.

Gardening tip: Plant your garlic deeper than 1” to save the time bragging that yur garlic’s up.

MtnClimber, 9:00PM at the gas station. I’ve got the sprayer & you bring that brush-killer stuff you were talking about. We should be done by mid-night.
