Some of our 15" of snow has melted, but there are still piles and drifts. The only bare spots are where all the snow blew away on gusty days and nights last week. Today it was 3 degrees at 7 a.m., but at least the sun is shining, so I am grateful. The seedlings don't mind the cold, as they are tucked into the warm greenhouse. However, a few days ago, it wasn't so warm, as a large section of the greenhouse roof came loose and was flapping in the wind! So, in 8 degree blustery weather, I was on a ladder for hours, replacing poly lock strips, and trying to repair a tear. Needless to say, tape doesn't stick well in those temperatures. Fortunately, on Super Bowl Sunday, the temperature skyrocketed to forty-two degrees, so I climbed up the ladder and retaped it. So far, so good. The new website is nearly complete, and we are looking at making it "live" around Feb. 17th I hope you will check it out and be pleased at all the new opportunities, articles, and information. The February E-newsletter will go out just before then, probably around Feb. 12. The boxes are arriving at the Barn with all the new spring inventory, but it has been too cold to spend much time unpacking. It will feel like Christmas when we do.
