This is not due cold weather. It's not cold. In fact, it's quite lovely for the dregs of December. We're having a nice warm rain right this minute.
In all likelihood, this is due to a year long on Too Busy, and short on Fun. So, today I ordered my veg seeds from Baker Creek.
Ordering seeds is fun.
Also, we are planning to add two new beds to the veg garden this weekend. 4 x 8 feet each, for our strawberries. It will be easier to pick them from a path on both sides than it is to climb in the middle of the 8 x 10 bed and dodge the rhubarb.
Building garden beds is fun.
If the winter stays mild, we'll start transplanting strawberry runners in February to get a head start on the season. Then, after the June bearers finish bearing in the old bed in June, we'll finish ripping the old plants out and plant basil. If I plant the everbearers early enough, then we might still get some berries in the fall off the new plants.
Thinking about strawberries is fun.
I might make it through this winter after all.
