Weather:
We have had about 4 inches of snow since Saturday. The weather has warmed and the snow is now slushy. Not much fun to walk in. Yesterday the wind picked up some but was calm today.
Plantings:
None
Activities:
No activities outside. Did receive two nice Christmas presents for the garden. The first was heat pad that you put your seedlings on so that they will have a good heat source to sprout quickly. The second item is nice to intensive gardening, a hand held seeder where you can drop just one or two seeds in a small hole.
Miscellaneous Notes & Observations:
The younger chickens have picked up speed on laying eggs. I got 5 today, they are still fairly small but that will change. The Rosemary plant I moved into the garden house is doing pretty well. The greenhouse is staying fairly warm with the small heater I have in there.
It is interesting to note that the snow is falling off the barn roof more than when the wood shingles were there. I noted that both the outside doors to the chicken coop are impassable because of the large drifts of snow in front of them.
