I am back! I just could not get everything done this summer and fall and still devote time here, so I put the blog on hiatus. It is now active again. I have future posts planned for more on the garden shed and the garden along with a new garden book I am reading and love it. Stay tuned, more on all that soon.
I know that blogs live or die based on activity. I know bloggers owe their readers regular content and I will bear that in mind. I am dedicated to adding something here of value to you not less than once a week and more often if possible.
By the way, my experiment with a winter garden has been mixed. Onions are set out for harvest next year. I have lettuce, swiss chard, and kale growing reasonably well. My biggest challenge is getting water to the garden when the spigots are wrapped for freezing and the hoses are put up for the winter. The dry fall we have had here in the valley – very unusual, clear, cold and dry weather for most of November and December, has made that challenging. My other big challenge is that it is dark when I go to work in the morning and dark when I get back at night. I only get to actually see my garden on weekends. I am already thinking next year I will put the garden to bed in October and forego trying to raise a few greens for the winter.
OK, see you all soon…
