Six inches of snow over the past day or so. Very pretty! We needed a layer to cover up the YUCK that January sometimes brings.
Nothing going on in the greenhouse, but I am studying! I have lettuces, spinach, arugula and sprouts going under grow lights. The sprouts are just ‘greening up’ for a few days - they’re more appetizing to me that way.
When I find the pad of graph paper, I am starting on planning the planting beds for next season. I might even use colored pencils because the 4 year old ‘me’ wants that. Seriously. She does!
Shredded papers for the compost pile, as I need to dump the covered bucket that’s under the sink. Had to re-shovel a path out to the two piles this morning, but I needed to shovel to the greenhouse and the bird feeders, anyway. ;)
Working on subjects to post here throughout the week, and trying to keep my two cats for killing one another as they go stir crazy. They’re usually outside more than in, so winter is a PITA for them.
Beau went out early to hunt Bobcat with a friend who has a kill tag and a nice sideline fur business making pelts into hats, mittens, headbands, etc. I got a raccoon headband for Christmas and it is REALLY stunning; velvet lined! His wife does a great job of sewing with the fur - which is not an easy skill to master.
Do you heat your greenhouse? I use a small ceramic heater and a temperature adjustable switch. It keeps the temp between 35-40. It’s works well down south, but I don’t think it could handle an overnight temperature below about 20.
I have a friend up north who is trapping beaver and making hats and mittens for family.
