Good morning gardeners. I hope y’all are staying warm. This past week I became aware of a new Weekly Cooking Thread and a Ping list that is maintained by HungarianGypsy she will ping to any thread that remotely concerns food it is the Freeper Kitchen Ping list. Many of you may be aware of them already but for those of you who are not and want to check them out and receive Pings to them here is the info:
The Weekly Cooking Thread Premièred Last Sunday and was Started by Freeper libertarian27. He intends on posting the thread every week either on Saturday or Sunday. So If you are interested check the thread out. Here is a link to last weeks thread.
Weekly Cooking Thread (your favorite recipes)Dec 12
If you are a gardener or you are just starting out and are in need of advice or just encouragement please feel free to join in and enjoy the friendly discussion. Our Freeper community is full of gardeners, each with varying interests and skill levels from Master Gardener to novice.
I am so sorry to hear that. Prayers for you and your family. I am assuming since you used the word “may”... you are waiting for that horrible phone call. I’ve been there (in fact last year) and it is a hard thing to go through.
I thought it was Maycomb, Alabama.
Yes, but Dill was from Meridian. That’s why I thought of it. I always feel sorry for Dill.
It lasted about a week and a half. Very sloppy. Melt, refreeze, melt, refreeze. Elevation here is 2200’ msl, on top of the Cumberland plateau, but we’re on the west side and adiabatic lifting causes a lot of snow to be dumped on this side of the plateau. That same storm gave Chattanooga 22”, elevation 680’ msl. Keep in mind that 3 flakes blowing past a window causes a panic resulting in all grocery stores to be stripped of all milk, bread, eggs and toilet paper. I’ve seen -18F here several times and typically we will see -10F every January. We’ve had a real December this year, for sure. Can’t wait to see what January and Febu-ugly brings, although March is usually our snowiest month by far. The good part is I’ll be in Brazil for two weeks of Febu-ugly. Wee!
and then there’s this:

Looks like The Garden Police bill is dead, too!

Thanks for the rest of the story.
Amazing, I actually found the Cumberland Plateau on a map.
It’s my grandmother’s sister-in-law. She passed away a few days ago, lived a good long life. I haven’t seen Aunt Geraldine in years but dad may want to avoid driving that far alone.
Druing Dills time Meridian was the States largest city.
It is 47 and windy here today. I pulled a few turnips this week. We are really dry again, and the thread below is not good news.

Hi all from Nashville, TN. Cold here but at least no ice on the roads......
Hubby has been dropping LARGE hints that he would like a blue spruce tree. I don’t particularly care for them but would like to get him one anyway for Christmas. Saw some at the Home Depot-they were about 3 feet tall. Anyone have any experience with these types of trees? Do they grow ok in these parts? I have seen just a few around town and they seemed healthy and all. I’ve heard they are slow growers. Any thoughts/suggestions would be very welcome and appreciated.
I do hope so! I Don’t trust the snake Reid.
My Mom’s family - centered over the line in Butler, Alabanga - always considered Meridian to be the “big city” of the area. It was from the little airport there that I took my first passenger jet flight in the 1960s....
Yup! Butler is just down the road.
“but I have found an odd satisfaction in hacking privit into tiny little pieces.......”
No worries, it’ll be back for your enjoyment again next year!
Much rain is forecast to hit the Vast Bender Estate on Humboldt Bay today and through late next week but I think this storm is colder then the one moving through So Cal now. My gardening sanity is invested in my Garlic patch and a large tub of Carrots plus the beds of Red Oats and Bell Beans are at a perfect height right now. I only go out there to toss some birdseed on the ground for the Quail and Juncos and eat a fresh Carrot. I saw a Coopers Hawk chasing a Quail yesterday but the berry brambles offered cover...
Thanks for that link. Here is another news article on FR.
Yep there was a weather alert post yesterday to that rain headed you way! Stay dry.
