Fun in the Garden

Wednesday was such a gorgeous day Denise, Dalita and I decided to take advantage of it and meet at the garden for Fun. Absolutely NO work was done. We just sat there in the sunshine enjoying the warmth and chatting.

Mike was driving by, saw our cars and decided to stop and see what we were doing. He probably wondered if we were doing another squirrel surprise.  Nope, we were just eating cranberry muffins and talking.

Wesley stopped by to put kitchen scraps on the compost pile and found a party going on!

Though I think the soap smelling was a surprise for everyone. I needed help figuring out what one soap smelled like so brought all the little soaps for analysis. None of us can put a name to the mystery one, not even me and I made it. Most of the soaps smelled like they were supposed to: lemon, peppermint and lemon peppermint. Sooner or later someone will come up with the name of the scent for the mystery soap! It is some kind of baked good I think....

Denise, Dalita, Wesley and Vicki

By the way, only one thing on this table is food!

The rest is soap and Mike's pottery.

Rain at the Garden

Lots of rain! Thursday we got 1.2 inches and on Monday we got 1 inch. Yippee.....a total of 2.2 inches of rain! We don't have to worry about watering for the next few days during the current cold spell. What a great Christmas present that is.

Lost & Found

Three tools with turquoise and orange handles were left by Bed #17.  They were there at 5:00 on Thursday pm.

 The time is 3 hours off if you look to see when a post was made!

Christmas is coming - with a hard freeze

The totally unseasonal beautiful warm weather is over!  Luckily for us we are having lots of rain this week at the garden so all the plants will be nicely hydrated for the hard freeze that is going to happen over the next few days.

  Fri 21st     low 29, high 45
  Sat 22nd   low 25, high 52
  Sun 23rd  low 30, high 56

Our Christmas present will be no freezing temperatures Mon, Tues, Weds but we will get more rain.

But starting with Thursday the 27th we are back in that cycle of freezy, frosty weather.

 Thurs 27th   low 35, high 48
 Fri 28th        low 28, high 51
 Sat 29th       low 29, high 54
 Sun 30th      low 33, high not announced yet

Subject to change of course! The above predictions are based on what The Weather Channel was saying at 8:30 am Thursday morning. It is best to check frequently if you are planning on putting your frost cover on. Also remember to vent your frost cover if the temperatures are going to be above 50 for very long! This will help prevent disease and heat problems.

Just remember that when The Weather Channel shows the high/low for each day the high is for the day indicated, the low is for the NEXT morning! It is sooo easy to get confused and cover too soon or not soon enough.

      Safe Travels and Have a Merry Christmas
