Making me jealous?

30 degrees this morning in NJ, no tomatoes for two months, two lemons ripening on the potted tree.

Haven’t even planted bulbs yet, got a new dog who is taking all my time.

Postponed delivery of apple trees to spring for fear of early hard winter.

15 Tetsukobuto squash is all that’s left of my harvest - maybe some arugula out back.

Well, I AM enjoying the weather. Just a few days ago we were down below freezing at night, and high 30’s and 40’s, so we’re not all that cozy, but so far enjoying a mild winter. I hope it continues all winter.LOL.

Say I didn’t know that peppers were self fertilizing. Wish I had tried growing them indoors earlier. I think I’ll plant some annaheims too.

I never feel like doing anything with the garden, unless it is sunny and mild. If it is cold or cloudy, I just skulk around indoors, drink coffee, and look at seed catalogs, or read the prepper threads. LOL.

“... got a new dog who is taking all my time”.

CONGRATULATIONS!! Maybe by the Spring, you’ll have a gardening buddy right by your side.
