    Their location gets below freezing in the winter, fair amounts of snow and occasional single digits.

    The Honey Factory

    It was brought to my attention that the relative who keeps bees doesn’t put an insulation cover on their hives. Any recommendations/things to watch out for when picking out covers?

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I got my seeds today! ❤️ MIGardener sent a little sample packet of their fertilizer too, so I guess I’ll have to try that out next year…

    Today I broke into the cucumber slices I stashed in leftover pickle brine. I am pleased to report they made acceptable pickles! Good thing too because I already bought more of the same kind of cucumber seeds. 🙃

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I probably should have put some sort of cover over my carrots so I could do similarly. As-is they’re just covered in lots of snow. 🫣

    Feeding Wild Birds

    Refilled the birdbath today in anticipation of single-digit weather. I think the deicer I’m using is a little overpowered for the size of the birdbath, the water keeps evaporating.

    Single digits again tomorrow. 🥶 Unrelated, I think I missed a potato in one of my pots. It’s inside (and has been for a while) with the intention of planting things after Christmas and I’m not sure what else that sprout could be.

    Single digits incoming. 🥶 I hope it kills off all the bad bugs for next year!

    Feeding Wild Birds

    My local redtail swooped by yesterday. Haven’t seen it in a while. I need to refill the suet feeder soon. Bad weather incoming and the little birds are stuffing their faces.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Icky weather incoming. I got myself in gear and put some leaves on most of the garden boxes. Hopefully the rain/snow mix will make sure they stick.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    All I bought was seeds and I thought they usually did free shipping past a certain $$$ amount for those. Which is to say I hadn’t given it a second thought. 😶 I hope this doesn’t hurt them too much, I know they had some growing pains this year.

    Harvested some carrots for turkey soup today. They are actually carrot sized this year! 🎉

    You can grow ginger indoors in pots! You can start it with a rhizome from the grocery store.
