What have you done today in the Garden?

Went out to the lottie today and had to sludge through snow that was above the ankles. There were tracks in the snow, and I fed the birds. I also harvested two meals worth of sprouts. IO shall be eating some in less than an hour. Yummmmm.

 

Hummerbum, I would be in, but I'm rather old to learn new tricks.

 

Yesterday I turned compost and spread dung on the garden. Afterwards, I delivered firewood. Today, I will be cutting more firewood.

 

Mate, it must be getting really cold there now.

 

No a thing. Too cold. Too much snow. Let the earth rest and so will I.

 

no gardening today. just snow falling and needing shoveled. and it is cold.

 

The snow has all melted and it is mild outside, more wooding yesterday and today. I think we had about minus 5 or 6 celsius so far this winter. The snow melts quickly on the sunny slopes, but some frigid places stay icy for weeks.

 

I checked up on the garden. Watered the tunnels and got some horse manure

 

Began listing seeds that I will need for next season.
I can order next month.

 

Not doing much gardening now. Actually, not doing any. This what is looks like outside.
Bird is feeling festive.
This is one of my Xmas presents. Looks like a nerf gun, but it turned out to be....... (dramatic suspense)..... a grow light!!!!
I will put it to good use!

BTW I had to wrap a big box ( a desk chair for our son) & I didn't want to waste a whole roll of paper, so I used scraps:


And finally, here is hubbie Xmas eve taking a moment to relax.

Oops. Looks like I got the order of captions to photos a little confused.

 

What a super group of foto's !
Great improvisational (is that a word?) wrap job on the chair.
But....good grief--- what a big snow you have, grandma !
Good to see your man playing. How nice it would be to have a talent like that.
Great posting, Cayu.

 

Toni, yes, winter weather in winter is a good thing.

 

Nothing today but enjoyed the first snow storm in the southeast (Savannah GA) in 28 years!!!!

 

Yesterday we had 18 Celsius. I transplanted lettuces into a poly tunnel that had horse manure buried underneath to create a heating effect. I dug some new beds and enriched them with chicken manure. In the afternoon, I cut a fir tree from my neighbours garden. This morning digging and this afternoon cutting firewood.
