What did you do in the garden today?

[Bugseye]

Uh huh, snow here too. The first seed catalog has arrived!

 

[LittleLakePhil]

I know I've already spent too much too

Did some garden cleanup . Gathered some of the late stuff . Winter squash , Daikon radish and turnips .

Oh wow, we're way past that stage up here.

I think I have a few kales stalks hanging in there, but other than that we're done for the season.

I can't believe how good my kale still looks...we have been down to single digits several times so far. I can't stand the stuff myself. But my ducklings pigged out on it today

It gets sweeter after it's been hit by a frost. It's actually pretty good in a stir fry, or in a soup. Kale chips are also quite tasty... not a gotta have it every day tasty, but a Hmmm, let's add a little more salt, and before I know it the entire batch is gone.

Hey LG.....how are you? Truck back up and running yet?

 

[lazy gardener]

I'm fine. Yep, truck and car back in service. Blew through almost 1K. Hubby on vaca this week. He's caught GD's virus, GS was also sick, so far, I've not been bit. Good thing. I've been called back to work after 6 months of not being needed. Also have to report to jury duty Tues (40 min drive). When it rains, it pours. Got all of the perimeter of new run trenched, skirt laid, and finished chopping through the frost to complete the final run of back fill this morning. So happy to have that job behind me. Now, to cut an egg door into the coop. Hate the start of a project like that b/c I'm always afraid I'll mess up the measurement and make a hole too big or in the wrong place. Think I've got it marked, and will drill some pilot holes to check how things line up. Then make the door frame before cutting out the hole in the building. Will be 2 doors covering about 24 x 38".

I watered plants of course. I planted a amaryllis bulb I bought at the grocery store.
