And, yes. It was only 56 degrees IN my old, drafty farm house. I was playing, 'Laura Ingalls Wilder' in those days; I threw another quilt and a dog on the bed that night!
Thanks for the Head’s Up on the seed supply. No dilly-dallying this season - I already ordered the basics and have seed in hand.
I’ll take what I can get for the rest of the ‘stuff’ I want, not need. ;)
I’ll re-order bare-root roses in the spring. I did have ONE casualty that I know of out of the 15 or so I planted this past season - we’ll see who makes to cut come spring and I’ll re-order accordingly. I had NO Japanese Beetle damage due to feeding them the ‘goop’ they need, 3x last season. It’s just watered in; I want as little maintenance as possible for my roses.
I also decided to do some actual bed ‘plotting’ this season, on paper and everything! I normally just wing it and usually have MORE veggies than I know what to do with, but I feel the need to do a lot of successive planting next season and make good use of every inch.
Beau has already been alerted that I will need beds lightly tilled this upcoming spring, so he needs to have the small tiller in good shape...and I saw that he moved it into the garage to work on, so at least he’s listening, LOL!
I’m up to 14 seed catalogs right now. Happy, Happy!
