And we have this little dusting of snow after yesterday morning's 20°f (-7°C) but then sunshine afterwards – melting much of the snow already there. The chances of snow continue but don't sound like much of a threat. Afternoon highs will continue to melt some of what falls.
A couple of weeks ago, I was thinking that it might be a good idea to dig out a garden bed. (Had I ever done that in February?!) Our soil is so rocky, with those beds having a fair amount of organic matter in them, that digging in wet conditions should be okay. I could then move some compost into that ground and Have Room to Empty these Buckets of Kitchen Scraps! Missed my chance. Oh well, those scraps were probably frozen and I might not have been able to dump them into the compost bins.
I did get 8 varieties of tomato seed and a couple of eggplant into the soil mix and resting comfortably in the kitchen. They joined the peppers and i have finally tried starting those slow growing celeriac to see if they can make it to softball size in 2024. Certainly time for gearing up the seed starting, especially if we may have an early Spring.
