It was another week of mostly shirt-sleeve weather here in Central Missouri. We got a bit of rain mid-week, but we are in dire need of more.

Mrs. Augie picked a nice salad from the garden to go with our leftovers that we had for Christmas dinner. The 31st will be our 30th wedding anniversary, and most of the kids/grands will be able to come over, so I’m holding the 16lb boneless prime rib of beef for New Years Day.

I hope you all had a safe and happy Christmas.

Congratulation on 30 year!!

(16 Lb Boneless Prime! Not a small investment!)

I watered the garlic and potato onions. Like you said, it has been warm and the tops were poking through. Also watered rhubarb and Viking Aronia, the lilacs (including Moscow beauty!) and some replanted day lily beds.

I have some fig trees in the basement with a couple of florescent lights and a south window and they have amazingly, been ripening figs even though all the leaves have fallen off. However, its probably taking longer because with those leave gone. I may just just remove the remaining figs and get them dorment before we get to much deeper into winter. Once dormant I can prune them and will have some cuttings that I can sell or give away.

I will get some seeds this year even though I probably do not need them. (It is prudent to have them of course....) I will buy more fertilizer than I need. Same reason.

In any case have a great anniversary!
