Its been rather chilly this week with some snow flurries.
Outdoor projects are temporarily on hold.
I usually plant potatoes on St Patrick's Day but thinking I may hold off.

I woke to snow again this morning, just a covering but it was very cold. The sun's come out this afternoon and melted all the snow, but there's no heat in the sun, it's still freezing.
ReplyDeleteIt is freezing cold here too - I did plant a few potatoes out last week maybe I should have held off a bit longer - oh well, too late now.
ReplyDeleteA work of art that photo really cool. Nice as calendar photo too.
ReplyDeleteSpring is definitely not here just yet! Looks like 2013 is going to be just as much as a challenge to us gardeners as 2012 was! :(
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli, no planting here by St Patrick's day even if the plot was ready! I do have earlies chitting in readiness though.It was bitterly cold here for the last couple of days and the ground is really hard.
ReplyDeleteWho knows, by St. Pat's Day, the 17th, it may be sunny and mild! The weather is so changeable....you might be able to put your potatoes in.
DeleteEspecially if you plant them in a wheel barrel or buckets!!
Do you think that it will ever warm up? We had 6 inches of wet heavy snow last night that has already melted off. It is supposed to get warm this week. Spring break next week and I can get out in to the garden.
ReplyDeleteIt is certainly cold in spite of the sunshine.
ReplyDeleteOoh that's cold. Over here in South Florida (some people/person) have to wear thermal shirts (meant for ski-iing) when the night-time temps drop below 40. We just have very thin blood, which serves us well when the temps are in the mid 90s to 100.
