Weather, Garden

It's cold! BRRR!! I guess I'm just not used to the cold weather I greew up with in Northern Virginia. Forecast is for windchills around zero tonight. I can't work in the yard or prep the new garden beds in this weather. :( So much to do and so little cooperation from the weatherman.

I ordered the rest of my seeds last night for the coming year. I need to organize what I have and get ready for the seed trains when they come thru. I'm following a plan for one more year, my third. Then we decide what we want for ourselves and what will sell at the market. But that's next year. Meanwhile we'll just read the books and see what develops.

I was working in the North Garden when the weather turned last week. My handy-dandy garden fork is now stuck in the ground. Frozen solid. I can't get it out. At least the weather should moderate by midweek. Actually calling for a low up at freezing next Thrusday! :) And I have seven beds to prep for spring by mid-March. Will I have time?
