Wow, yup, that sure is temperate. Where I live we get -30 in winter and +30 in summer lol (edit to add F -22, 86)

Getting the winter tires put on Monday...just in time!

Ha, and also my area is under a "Special Weather Statement" i.e. be prepared for active weather. "A general snowfall of 8 to 12 cm appears likely at this time. Although localized slightly higher amounts are possible, snowfall warnings are not expected (where at least 15 cm would have to fall...

@sumi is -8 considered cold or is because of a snow/ice warning? What are your low winter temperatures?

Ha, well that was quite the Bee! As for weather, I'm not getting the snow until tomorrow night. I will update on Tuesday morning with the outcome! ;)

Ah that sucks CR, learning experience?? There's always next year? It's too cold here to do a winter garden, but keeping carrots under mulch for a January harvest is possible like NH mentioned. I worked on a farm that did it successfully. And kale is a possibility as was mentioned before too...

Lol @baymule , yes you are an enabler :D But ya, having a bit of extra money could go a long way around here, it can be a bit tough raising a family on one (mechanics) income these days. But, we're fine if I don't get a job, though I would love to spend a bit more on repairs around this place...

Yup, just your northern neighbour (notice the 'u' ;)) I wanted to keep the zone as that's a better indication of growing opportunities. I like your list sumi :) I think it's a good mix I have never grown celery, that's awesome! When do you plant it in the ground @milkmansdaughter ? And all...

Nice, I'm going to try and grow in that much space too. Though I may also make a separate "squash patch" and see what grows.

Lol, love it! And thank you sooo much for the offer. Not sure how well those grow in zone 5a. Either way I'm out of country so they probably wouldn't make it past the boarder. :\

What size garden are you planning on working with next year @Chic Rustler ?

I might for myself, but I'm extra cautious with a toddler. It's all about degree of risk, some things I'll be riskier then with others. I find freezing is easy anyway and I've got lots of space, so there's no real draw to the water bath more then I already do.

That raised bed should look pretty good in the spring Bee :) And watermelon! I didn't add that to my list. But it would be one of the first to cut off the list anyway. I like your list NH, if I only end up planting the little garden my list will look pretty similar. I also have the Asparagus...

Awesome! We didn't get root stock this year because I didn't know where to get scions. I did find one old apple tree in our woods. Now I'm more worried about finding a good place for them to grow. Too wet and too windy. Though the too wet may be because it rained all summer. When we bought...

Lol! Yes that's something to get excited about as well :) Though all I have on the animal front are chicken plans, but it's the big garden that will be the big change. I've got more land then sense (or dollars ;)), which is a fortunate 'problem' to have. I have a feeling next year will be a...

Ok, this thread doesn't really have a purpose and should probably go under Random Ramblings... But I've really been taken over by garden dreams even though it's still months before anything is getting planted. Seriously, I've found myself going to sleep with visions of raised beds. What do I...
