Yesterday it got to a whopping 37 F! The sun was out, and one could hear dripping all over the place. I opened the beds with lids, some of which were very heavy, and let the snow and ice slide right off. The plants in the beds were still green, but a darker shade due to the cold. A few days of sunli ...

I think it is a combination of the cold and the lack of sunlight. Michigan is lousy for sunlight in the winter. Compa ...

Getting water to seedlings in the raised beds can be a real challenge in the winter. As I mentioned yesterday, I have added snow to the beds, but only when the temperature is above freezing and the sun is out. The lids must be free of snow so that the sun will melt it once it is in the bed. A year a ...

In case you hadn’t guessed, we’re not Jewish. We can still appreciate a variation on Hanukkah food, though, since it’s in season and able to be locally grown (much of which we got from Conway Locally Grown).

It's snowing and cold here now and I just couldn't wait any longer so I started gardening! Well, the winter gardening that I read about at Winter Sown.org.

A professor at a junior college in upstate New York (where I started my academic career back in the mid seventies) once said that the central plains are all about extremes of weather.
