Healthy soil and sustainable growing

Title: Re: [Livingontheland] garden weather

I keep thinking about the good lettuce and greens in our high tunnels but it would be a big effort to dig out the doors – there’s about 15 – 18”
of snow up against them.  Its even too cold (wind chill –21º) to get the tractor out for clearing the drive – if the tractor would even start.  But its a perfect day for planning out seed starting for the season.  Just printed off blank calendar pages and move sticky notes around as needed.  Good work for a day like today.
