Where do you buy your plants?

Well there will be no planting of "taters" or anything else here. This picture is from today at 130 M. The dusting of snow from last night is melting off a bit in the sun but it is 27 and windy. Tonight it will be down to 15 and Saturday night 18. The 10 day forecast is for highs to get to 50 late next week.

Yesterday we were in t-shirts, today was rainy in the morning and progressed into "Hoodie" weather with occasional sprinkles. Don't know what the temp is right now, but warm enough to run outside for a decent while in a tee shirt if your busy working.

That is funny. Many years ago my buddy's Dad was a engineer with the USCEC. He was a smart man but not so when it came to weather. He would argue that our weather came from the east. He was a not a joking man so he actually thought that.

That is good. I wish ole Monte was still around. He was a smart engineer but a staunch liberal. We had many good "spirited" conversations. I wonder what he would have thought of the balloons.

The wind is howling now and the wood boiler is cooking. It is 19F now.

everyone... plus me, now!

Well our elders know/knew a lot. I am betting many of us grew up thinking we were smarter but we realized the elders were right. All joking aside Texas is a different climate so you fine folks have a bit different planting season. I would really love to visit east Texas. That looks like some of the best land in the fine USA.

My daddyinlaw used to say the best time to plant taters is when the ground is ready. My dad once planted taters right at Christmas, and had a bumper crop. Last few years, I have sort of been following the signs and moon phases and that seems to work too. Just for info for those that dont know, Easter and Good Friday are based on moon phases and planet alingment and is why Easter falls on different days and even different months each year. https://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/determining-easter-date.html

I am not sure what it was today. They were claiming it to be -15 last night but I am not going to say that was true. I know the boiler went through more wood last night then it had in a long time.
