Surviving Minnesota!

[MissE]

Morning . Rain off and on here . Put squash and cucumber seeds to germinate . Have to do it indoors as something eats my seeds in the garden . Ralphie have you been fishing ?

Trade you rain for snow. Ground thawed enough for the electric fence so I've been opening the coop in the morning so they can roam their pasture area. Most mornings they are complaining at 6:30 wanting out. Today, they're standing in the doorway complaining that there's half an inch of white stuff in their way.

Can we really call it climate change, when the climate refuses to change?

My pears blossoms are opening. I guess this will be another fruitless year.

For once it wasn't an autocorrect error.

I haven’t been fishing. I have so busy trying to keep up on the spring chores. And the snow is kind of a put off to fishing.

My monkey ass are not out of the ground yet. I have Ailsa Craig onions about an inch tall though.

Peppers are not up either. The way this year is going my timing is correct, it will be June first before I can get in the garden. I normally plant in mid May but then I fight frost. I want to avoid the frost this year.

I only have one . I am trying to germinate more . Others have reported similar results . Curtis Cheek and German red strawberry tomatoes were strong germinators from the same source .

Morning . Going to have 2 hot days here . Starting to think garden . Ralphie plant more pumpkin or squash . Your deer like them . Then you can hunt from the deck this season .

I plan to plant more pumpkins.

I would like to plant some in the field, but I don’t want to have to fence it all in.
