greenstormI've planted two tomato seeds: fat frog and moment, both micros. I believe I'll also plant a sweet cheriette from one of my saved seeds.
I've sprayed for mealybugs and I'm contemplating what I'll replace my broken grow-light with; it has the old florescent tubes, should I replace it with an LED? It's right behind the couch so I want it to look nice. Maybe a couple sunblasters? Then I'll need to buy more for spring transplants though. Either way the peppers I brought in will need more light soon, and I'd like to get a little more going on in here.
It's edging colder and we're finally getting another real snowfall, which is good: I need it to insulate the pig house and the plants. I've given thought to putting some of my haskaps in a cardboard box and filling it with snow out on the deck, since it doesn't seem to be covering them on its own yet.
I'm tired and I just want to sit out with the geese and watch them. They're wary of me since I snagged a bunch of them with nets and took them off, never to return. Fair enough, right?
The new chickens have given me their fourth egg now, super tiny little ones. I should make myself a mini caesar salad or something in celebration. Meanwhile I've left the ducks and geese locked up in the woodshed and so it's only the dogs, the cats, and me trampling the snow outside. That means I can see all the rodent tracks under the chicken coop, which is probably where all my eggs from everyone else have been going. My instinctive solution is to so the swallowed-a-spider-to-catch-a-fly solution and look into rat terriers but I suspect they would not do well with my birds around. Can't hurt to look into it anyhow.
Gloom, snow: definitely the right time to look at seed catalogues and plan out the next year.
