Been awhile

The garden is basically done. I still have brussels sprouts out there that I'm hoping might mature enough to eat in spite of the cold weather. Most of the leaves are raked into the garden and all the flowers have been killed by the snow and freezing weather. I did get a few days of 60 degree weather to plant my garlic, daffodils, and tulips right after our first snow. Of course we haven't see snow since then either. Probably good though since we still have needed to get chores done. I could still stand to mulch around the place and my friend and I need to clean out the chicken coop before it gets too cold. We both want the poop to mellow in the beds over the winter.

That's about it. I'm slowly starting to think gardening and picking out seeds again, but after the crazy tomato canning I'm ready for the break.:) Funny how late winter excitment can turn to the late summer exhaustion. Sure has been nice having our own canned tomatoes and salsa though.
