The lemon grass that I had in water to root finally got serious enough that I had to pot it. It's almost 3 ft tall, the other one is just a little shorter. I guess I'm growing lemon grass now.

The rebel tobacco plant as of this morning. The shotgun shell is for scale.
That plant just has no idea it's the wrong time of year for it. So I'll play along with it.
It will have to be re-potted into a gallon container in the next few days.

There’s about 15 inches of snow on the ground around here — no outdoor gardening will be done in Wisconsin. I did receive my first garden catalog, however, — from Jung’s. Thank you Diana. But, it’s too early to be browsing and dreaming yet.
We had a most unusal event here. There was a huge barn fire in my neighborhood on Christmas. (about a mile from my house) Do you know how I found out about it? An email from Southern California from a former business colleague of my husband’s whose grown daughter knew the wife of the farmer from AFS years ago.
This fire was so big that it burned from 5 AM until late in the night on Christmas, but we didn’t have a clue because we were out at church, or out at the movies, or had our window shades closed all day to keep the house warm. It was a huge, beautiful 100 year old barn — gone. We drove by this afternoon, and it is still smoldering. We don’t know these people, but we know their relatives and many of their neighbors.
Nobody was hurt, and they got all the cous out, thank God. One person was treated for smoke inhalation because he was recovering from pneumonia at the time of the fire, and he went in the lead 20 cows to safety. The fire was caused by a space heater.
Well, that’s all the “news from Lake Woebegone”!

Not much to report from here. Turnips are getting ready for harvest. Leaf lettuce is nice and fresh for sandwiches. I got a few late season tomatoes as well.
Please add me to your pinglist.
