Talking about strange weather. We are still getting all sorts of peppers, got six more eggplants, three more Butternut Winter Squash, and a few Straight Necked Summer Squash, even have a beautiful matter plant coming up volunteer. Crazy as it was in the low 80’s just the other day & it is not even two weeks till Christmas.

calldoctoday Wow, we had ice yesterday, then a dash of snow on top of that, then it all melted away by noon. They have had over 4 ft. of snow in the mountains in the last 5 days and expect more this weekend, We are at 42 degrees which will be our high for the day. Our gardening days have been done since September even living close to the Pacific Coast. The end of February I will start prepping the garden and will plant cold crops in April,

johnsbrewhouse That is amazing. I got some things in maybe 3 weeks ago or so & very late for the fall garden (Cole Crops primarily) & guess it is not too late after all the way things are going. If I can get them to all grow like lightning now they might be grown & harvested before the first real freeze.

kyle sounds like you are getting what we had last week, you have a lot of snow on the way if it lives up to what we have had blow through in the last week.

johnsbrewhouse my nephew just sent a video from Lake Waconda in Kansas. It looked more like a shot of the ocean or one of the Great Lakes during a storm. He lives close to Salina, Kansas and they were getting non thunderstorms related winds of 98 mph. Hopefully everyone at Waltons is doing OK and all of our Meatgistics community in Kansas. Crazy times.

Pickling some asparagus (store bought) -
Also gonna try my hand at some bonsai since it’s too cold to garden outside. Watched a few videos but pruning these things really is an art to get them to grow how you want them to. We’ll see how it turns out.

That’s very clever. -
Had a pain in the b u t t day today tearing out the kitchen faucet and replacing it with new one today. That is tight quarters for broad shoulders!
Rewarded myself by making some pickled eggs and pickled sausage. Lots of Frank’s Red Hot in the brine. Now the 2 week wait.

ND Mike Hope you got all that done in good order & now that you have done such a swell job, I have some more for you over this way… Good job on the eggs & sausages, looks like you have a spicy batch.

calldoctoday seems like there is always something to fix around the house. Yeah, should be spicy, I had a hard time breathing while I brought the brine to a boil. I should have done it outside!!!
