Not sure who has/hasn't seen this yet, but here it is from Accuweather:
We are to get frost tonight and a hard freeze tomorrow. The house will resemble a garden for a few days with buckets full of "stuff" that needs processed in one way or another. (Or just eaten!)
Correction on my last entry: Jared was in the Arms Room (I said Armory). Guess they had a meeting to see who qualified to be a Dog Handler. Then they asked who was interested, of course he said "sure!". So change of course for him with training. (He thinks 'Fluffy' is a good name for a dog.....HA HA)
Pat and Kyle changed the starter on my truck Monday--it went out Sunday. They also changed the oil. Pat finished getting the nieces' baseboard heaters in so they won't freeze their butts off the next few days! :-)
OmahaDave: Nettles are actually medicinal--sounds like you've got a good plot for growing more food next year! You're an inspiration to other City Dwellers that it can be done! Good Job!
OK that's the quick update for now!
Oh no, it looks like we are in the worst of winter section....*sigh* that figures. LOL
ReplyDeleteYeah, I've heard the tea can be made with nettle leaves and it is supposed to be healthy but I think I'll pass on that one. I'd have a hundred gallons of tea from just the small path I cleared through the property. Ah, well, maybe I could sell medicinal nettle tea. Nah, I rather grow sweet corn. It's an awesome piece of land made just for gardens.
ReplyDeleteWe missed the freeze by two degrees. Tonight is another cold night predition so maybe tonight will be the night of first frost.
I had to replace two lug nut studs in my daughter's car last night. When working on an old car one never knows what one will run into. It wasn't too bad and in a couple hours once again the tire was safe from flying off the car. Yeah!!
Gotta run. Have a great day.
