It has been in the 50's and 60's the past several days here, and it has felt so good after this cold arctic air we have been under for the past month, but there is more cold air coming in later today, so it feels like this is just the eye of the storm here.
My newrs resolutions are to work outside alot more this year and have a big garden. (I got alot of watermelons last year and my mate said they were good, but to me they tasted very metallic. I doscovered it was my gold crown that was making them taste so odd, so I guess thats off the plate for me now) Ive been looking into a new type of gardening called permaculture, it seems alot easier than most methods, and much more friendly to the land than factory farming where you rip it up and drench it in chemicals.
Ive been doing alot of the things they suggest over the years, just never knew it was called anything else.
Folks that saw my garden said it looked like a graveyard, cause ther were mounds of soil in rows about 3' wide and 8' long all in rows.
I wish spring was closer, but I know its still quite a few months away, and I have so much work to do before then. To get caughtup on everything so I will have time to do other things.
