What did you do in the garden today?

Once upon a time in Fargo, I went out in a t-shirt and jeans to walk the dogs. They were running through the field as happy as can be, and we even played fetch. After about half an hour, I went inside. I got yelled at proper for being out in ... I think it was forty below without bundling up.

I wore shorts in north dakota until december 5th every year. It had to be below 0'F for me to give in. LOL.
Was out in a t-shirt, skirt and windbreaker today at 6 degrees.

^^ Can't do that. Don't know if I ever could.

I’m amazed at the way I go to the coops.

I can’t walk barefoot in the snow more than a few steps anymore.

Me either! I’ve experienced 1 round of temps around -3F and I couldn’t put enough coats on. I think the rest of y’all are crazy.

Good afternoon gardeners. It took me pretty much all day but I got the shed cleaned out and organized Tossed all the tomato cages into an empty space in the garden for now, a few have wire attached and others have shade cloth so they need work before I use them. I noticed a lot of rat droppings in the shed but the culprit was dead in a corner. I think I’m going to have hubs cut the lattice so it’s smaller and covers the door completely and then cover it with scraps of HWC to help deter the darn things. I’ve already started a pile for the next bulk trash pickup but most of the stuff can slowly go out in the trash as it’s not large. Went to Lowe’s this morning and picked up three kiddie pools for the ducks. These aren’t really deep enough for the ducks to swim in like the pond liner, but they were in the one I set out as soon as it was full having a great time anyway. The ducklings also got a little pool in their enclosure today and it wasn’t long before they were in it either. I’m waiting for hubs to get home from work so he can help me move his engine hoist somewhere out of the weather and I can hear the wind chimes in the breeze. It was calm this morning but it’s supposed to blow pretty good and maybe we’ll get rain tonight.
Here are some pics of the shed. I even got the wheelbarrow inside and there’s still room to get in there and get the things I use frequently. I stacked all the plastic pots I’ve been saving in the rabbit hutch. Oh and the ducks of course.

Way to go! Very inspiring! Now, if it were 50 degrees warmer, I'd go clean my shed.

It's not. So I won't.

I won’t either! I don’t have a shed, I have a greenhouse that functions like a shed, but grows weeds!

I am whining about going out in it is cold

In just a few months it’ll be getting hot and my outdoor activities will dwindle to maintaining the herbs and shrubs and taking care of the ducks. Around the time the rest of you are really into the swing of things.
