Hey Kate!  Please explain the " burn ban"...Sounds pretty wet.
Shawnee, still loving those Ozette potatos

We got our single digit temps....and then got 2 1/2 feet of snow 
mulch followed by 5 to 12 inches of rain (depending on which valley you were in) 
and the worse floods the area has ever seen.
 
So much for the mild weather of Western Washington. Extremes R Us. 
Now we've been socked in with freezing fog for over a week and no end in sight. 
Burn ban on so the wood stove is out, which means crank the electric and pile on 
the layers. Whatever happened to 45 and rain (our old 'normal')? I promise I'll 
never whine about it again, if it ever shows up.
 
Still feeling lucky when I see/hear what some of the rest of you 
have to put up with on a very regular basis.
 
Kate, Zone 7 (or is it 4?) and getting very 
stir-crazy

I'm trying to be grateful for all the snow mulch on the stateline 
between Illinois and Wisconsin.  Really! snow mulch is good!  Protects 
the plants from these below zero temperatures, sort of.  I should just 
crawl in with them until spring. How's everbody else doing, weather 
wise?
Shawnee, zone 5 and a bit winter goofy

Thank you Shawnee!
 
It will be interesting to see what 
happens.
 
Where are you that you have all that snow? 
We’re supposed to get lots of snow tonight.

Whatever else 
happens, those walking onions will walk all over your garden just fine.  
And if that didn't happen, and you want some more, email me off-list and I will 
send you as many more sets as you could EVER  want-free!  


(Ahem!  I still garlic sets in the back of my van)  Shawnee, 
zone 5, the rest of the garlic safe under three of snow and a foot of straw 
mulch.

Thanks Bobbett,
 
Now I feel better about planting them 
today. The road crew guy thought I was crazy out planting today. I pretended not 
to notice him.
 
Toni, I’m glad I’m not the only one 
forgetting the bulbs. Maybe I don’t have “oldtimer’s disease” after 
all?
