Winter is Here!

We had our first dusting of snow this week. We were hoping for more, but it did not happen. It is also unusually cold! We've been below freezing, even for HIGHS, for a few days now, though we're supposed to warm up next week. The cat's water freezes inside the garage. The 3-gallon bucket outside is frozen solid. No gardening here, though the lettuces and broccoli ARE NOT DEAD! Unbelievable!

I've been reading a lot, collecting herbal tea recipes, and working on the spring planting schedule. The broccoli seeds go in for germination week-end after next. Hope we get a break in the weather to clear beds soon.
