Sand Hill ThicketIt was a <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/winter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#winter</a> wonderland today! ❄⛄☀️🛷☀️The wind was calm and it got up to 15°F today. We shoveled a path to the coops and barn late last night, which mostly held until morning. I had to do a little clearing around the drifts next to the solar panels. I dug out the <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/ChickensOfCoSo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ChickensOfCoSo</a> and let them all out today. I got the horse stall door open so she could go in/out. The rams' water trough and the <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/lowtunnel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lowtunnel</a> are under drifts. <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/PolarVortex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PolarVortex</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/Blizzard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Blizzard</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/ExtremeWeather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ExtremeWeather</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/IceStorm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IceStorm</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/Snow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Snow</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/KsWx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KsWx</a>

Sand Hill ThicketHarvested the last few remaining chinese cabbages from the <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/lowtunnel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lowtunnel</a> and now I feel like I have frostbite in my hands. Very painful! It's cold out there at 25°F feels like 13°F with the wind.The condensation on the inside of the 6 mil poly is frozen in the most beautiful designs. It felt above freezing inside the tunnel. I left one cabbage in there as an experiment to see how it fares...<a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/Frost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Frost</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/ExtremeWeather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ExtremeWeather</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/KsWx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KsWx</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/GardeningMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GardeningMastodon</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/GrowYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GrowYourOwn</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/Food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Food</a>

Sand Hill ThicketI harvested about a 1/3 of the <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/lowtunnel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lowtunnel</a> today. Need to decide what to do with the rest of what's in there before the <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/PolarVortex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PolarVortex</a> hits! 😤Also, got the first of the <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/eggs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#eggs</a>! I think the <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/moult" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#moult</a> is over, but I'm worried the weather will cause the <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/hens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hens</a> to stop laying again? 🤔<a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/GardeningMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GardeningMastodon</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/GrowYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GrowYourOwn</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/Food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Food</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/ChickensOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ChickensOfMastodon</a>

Sand Hill ThicketOpened up the <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/lowtunnel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lowtunnel</a> to water it yesterday. Everything is growing well, albeit slow. Little to no pests. We've been eating a lot of bok choy. <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/fall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fall</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/garden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#garden</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/GardeningMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GardeningMastodon</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/GrowYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GrowYourOwn</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/Food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Food</a>

Hoping for explosive growth over the next few weeks after it just got about 3 inches of rain over last weekend. <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/GardeningMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GardeningMastodon</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/GrowYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GrowYourOwn</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/Food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Food</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/LowTunnel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LowTunnel</a>

Sand Hill ThicketI've been trying to clear my <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/lowtunnel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lowtunnel</a> bed, but it's so dry, the soil is as hard as a rock. I keep having to put the sprinkler on it, then come back later and pull weeds/grass. I am behind on planting my <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/fall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fall</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/autumn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#autumn</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/garden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#garden</a>, of course. 😤🤪 <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/GardeningMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GardeningMastodon</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/GrowYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GrowYourOwn</a>

Sand Hill ThicketI had to close up the <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/lowtunnel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lowtunnel</a> for a couple of nights because we've already had a couple bouts of frost damage, so I didn't want to risk anymore. It's been really windy for days, but yesterday was very still in comparison. It was idyllic. Today, she is blowing again! 🌬🙄 <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/GardeningMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GardeningMastodon</a>

Sand Hill ThicketBrussel sprouts are still alive, but just barely. Next few nights will seal their fate, one way or the other. I've covered them with heavy row cover fabric and then closed the <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/lowtunnel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lowtunnel</a> over top. Now we wait and hope for the best! Friday and Saturday nights are supposed to be in the teens. 😅 <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/Spring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Spring</a>

Sand Hill ThicketGot down to 16°F last night under the <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/lowtunnel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lowtunnel</a> Everything looks fine except for the brussel sprout <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/seedlings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#seedlings</a> , which took some freeze damage. The older leaves look worse than the younger leaves. So, maybe weren't hardened off adequately? 🤔 I think the plants are still alive, but need another day or two to know for sure... Either way, more nights in the 20s coming up, so will put fabric over them with <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/lowtunnel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lowtunnel</a> over top, if they live. <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/GrowYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GrowYourOwn</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/Spring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Spring</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gardening</a>
