Not getting much ‘gardening’ done, but I do have salad greens, sprouts and re-rooted lettuces growing under lights. Those re-rooted lettuces, I swear, you can actually SEE them grow! Nature wins! Nature wins!
Our BIG project starting this weekend is installing new flooring in the Family Room. ‘The Chairman’ also gave me the OK for new window shades and a new curtain for the patio door - but I am LIKING it being open, and no one will see us but the squirrels, so I may just go with a topper. The slider is still in very good shape for it’s age and is not drafty.
I have graph paper spaced out for garden beds and have been working on that a little bit. I made a bunch of 1” cut-outs I found on line in actual ‘Square Foot Garden’ sizes, so plotting things out should be easy-peasy.
Coldest weather of the season is hitting us this week, but it’s SUNNY, so I don’t care!
4-6” of snow predicted tonight into Sunday morning, then a little more on Monday. It’s totally manageable when it comes in drips and drabs. Now, 18” all at once? No fun for anyone! Been a relatively mild winter; I was expecting worse with the solar minimum and all that. But, no one pays me to be wrong like the Weatherman, so who cares? LOL!
This Kitchen Garden Planner has been fun to play around with, too:

We lived for one year in S. Dakota. Our first snow was 21”. It stayed and had many more added during that winter. Snow was still on the ground and melting in June.
I went out to get the mail one day, and sunk chest deep in a snowdrift. The snow was drifted all the way up to a little higher than our windows-we were living in a trailer.
Hubby walked across the highway one day to go to the grocery store and get a couple of bags of groceries. A blizzard hit. He had a hard time getting back to the trailer park. He said if he had dropped a bag, he would not have stopped to pick it up.
One day, I woke up in the wee hrs. freezing—ice had formed and popped the door next to the bedroom open. Used an icepick to chizel out the ice so it would close.
Was so glad to get back to Missouri where stuff usually melts in a few days before the next round. I do miss the weekly dairy delivery-it was great to have.
Cool link. But every one should hurry and use it and capture their plans. Website is going to be upgraded Feb. 1 and that feature will be disabled - they do plan to restore it at some point.
