I am going to let the fwrden rest today

Sounds weird, I know....but every once in a while I let her be for a day or two.

I have been having an issue with the hoop covered raised bed. Darn dampness is killing off some of the eggplant flowers and causing some pepper stems to rot and mold.

Not much I can do since I cannot leave it open for several hours in this cold weather so just taking a hit on some of the production.

Going in to work today.....all overtime again today just as yesterday

Glad you’re still here for us! :)

Wisconsin weather is FABULOUS this week, too! Maybe some rain Monday night, but we are set to break warm-weather records all over the place this week and next. Yay! Will make Winter feel shorter! We already had inches of snow on the ground this time last year.

I have been cleaning out garden beds. I have 3 more to go, and I also have to cut down the asparagus fronds (and monster weeds) in that bed.

My ‘greenhouse in a greenhouse’ is doing well - ready to harvest some lettuces and get some more transplants into the ‘bag-o-dirt’ beds. Still no tomatoes forming - I just thing the temperature swings in the greenhouse are too much for them to properly set fruit. :(

Pictures later...
