Hello February! I’m not usually a fan of February, but have you looked at the 10 day forecast? I have and it’s glorious – and that’s after the third warmest January on record! Not being raised here, the winters can really beat me down. This winter, the only beating I’ve taken is from the news (did that really just happen 🤯😡?) I still have flashbacks to the winter it snowed so much I could walk up to the roof on top of the roof raked piles. I feel like usually we are all ready for winter to end by February, except for maybe the most seasoned of you New Englanders. I find myself actually missing winter a little this year. For you weather nerds, here’s an interesting read on the weather trends to thank (or curse) for this mild winter. Is winter over? I hope not – I still have my seed order to finalize!
I can assure you that winter IS over in the tunnel. I can really feel the sun’s strength increasing on a sunny day – it had to be 80 in there when I went to open it up a bit belatedly the other day. The greens I tried to clear in January keep coming back! There even is a new green to add to the mix – some delicious spicy salad mix that I seeded way back in October just for kicks, never thinking it would produce. Help me clear these precious greens out so I can get a fresh start in 2020!
