We continue to enjoy great clear weather here on the far upper coast of Calif. Still planting cover crop and yard cleanup and even made a little compost with lawn clippings and leaves. Had the Redwood needles blown off our roof today which is a yearly event but I may have the trees closest to the house topped about 30% . I need to get over to the nursery and buy my new Strawberry plants for next spring and I think I will buy Sequoia again as they outdid themselves the past two years.

We are freezing here. Weather changed yesterday, and somehow I missed the forcast. So I was outside with a flashlight last night covering up the winter gardens with the row covers and straw.

Two very cloudy days in a row. So I turned on the grow lights mid morning. Hubby’s winter wheat is up about 6 or 8 inches, and makes the garden look so very cheery.

I heated up rice socks to hang around our necks this AM while grand daughter and I waited for the bus. May have to make some more to go around our waist, if it gets any colder.LOL.

We had a Great Sunny Day today. Solar heat made my hangout garden room very toasty. Didn’t get above the 40’s outside though. On the way to a low of 25 degrees tongiht.

Just heard on the weather a warming trend is underway. We will have Temps above freezing day and night on Thurs. Fri. and Sat. before winter strikes again.
