What did you do in your garden today?

[Dreamz]

I will have a late start. Waiting on an article blast starting tomorrow and should be in the minus for a few days. Then I have to go to doctor's appointments on February and march, will head to Florida for a week. Then I can come home to relax doing my regular farming and studies.

Debating the corn this summer. Last year it got eaten by animals. But darn, I love the sweet corn!

Im putting another few feet of fencing up on the posts. Then I think streamers randomly. I've thought out what it would take to build a deer scare to put out there. Small tub fountain. PVC works in place of bamboo to make the scare. Just need a battery powered fountain water pump.

Right now everything outside is covered in snow and the temp is currently -6°F.

You're talking daytime? For several days?

Dang...teens at night are panic time here.

I was thinking about that. I know there are deer in the area. Since it is rumored that they won't try to jump something they can't see, I was thinking of putting up flexible poles with flags on them high up. Maybe convince them the fence is that high?

Love to see pictures when you get that done!

They've revised our predicted low for Tues/Wed lower. FOURTEEN degrees! Can I quit winter now?

they've raised Tues night low two degrees to -4F... high of 17F predicted for today. i do not care to go out and check myself so i will take their word for it. keep warm and safe! i'm glad i do know how to get by if i do need to go outside but also have the option of not going out at all.

That was yesterday. It got down to -23°F at 4 AM. A Chinook blew in and it is already back up to -6°F now.

Deer won't try to jump over a fence when they can't see what is on the other side of it. I put up an 8' tall fence around my garden. It kept them out.
