Arctic Blast

Wow, I really dropped the blog, sorry. It got totally overwhelming in August, then it was just over. I planted a ton of garlic in October, and Fava beans in the rest of the beds. I decided to lay low this fall and winter and keep my planting to a minimum. I have taken on a lot in the yard this past year, and coupled with house repairs I may have bitten off more than I can chew. As of late I have been forced to put the garden aside and focus on some indoor projects due to some unusual weather. My Fava beans were all up and happy, 3 inches tall or so. This was the last time I saw them
And I am not going to set my heart on them making this through. The snow has since left them totally covered.We have received about 18"of snow this past week. The cats, Rebecca and I have been stuck inside, and we have delayed our trip to Ashland for Christmas.
This kale is about all you can see of the garden, Rebecca thinks it looks like a hooded monk.



Our new neighbor Toby is snow crazy!!



I am staying busy inside, and already fantasizing about the seed catalogs that should be arriving soon....
