Love seeing the pictures and can't wait to grow again. We can't start ours until I can figure out how to deer proof a plot on a budget. Had 6 of the hooved rats bedded down under the apricot tree this morning. Last year they even ate tomato plants down to the ground, I figured nightshades might be safe. So far the only things they won't eat are mint, thyme, and oregano.

Eric, I have seen fields of strawberrys coated with ice from irrigation in the morning just waiting on the sun to release them. Crazy how ice protects them but frost damages them. We have had heavy frost last 3 days and calling far a tracking snow1" or 2" for the weekend. Bob

Too windy to do anything here today. ..

With frost on the way last night and my garden too far along to cover the plants, I set up my sprinkler on a bar stool to get just a little more coverage. I was able to get at least splashed on water from one end of the planted stuff to the other.
I got up at 4 and turned on the sprinkler, looked out at 6 and there was a frost but not a real heavy one. Anyway, my garden was frost free, we have another round of even colder weather and more frost tonight, the sprinkler is in place.

It’s still to cold here for garden. Did do some prep work to improve one of my hunting spots though. This hollow had massive, beautiful, proud Ash trees growing here several years ago. They all died and I reluctantly took them out with my old escavtor. I made a lot of firewood and just got around to burning up the stumps.
Yesterday my son and I planted 50 sugar maples in the hollow. I tilled a small area bellow a stone pile for a small food plot. I made the stone pile into a elevated pit blind. Might be hard to see from pictures, but I think this is going to be a nice sit-up .
