Oh weeds… they come quickly when we are gone.
Still working on it to get it all under control again. SoI fully understand.
The night temperatures are dropping drastically already. End of the week it goes at night down to 2 degrees… not sure what the veggies will do now.
After yet another week, the temperatures are probably even worse now? I have managed to get some of my weeds under control, but not much success in other parts of the garden. I hope that at least some of your plants survive!
They surely did. The frost came wayyyy to early.
Good to hear for most parts. I hope you did manage to get on top of it again.
I did harvest the beet root and 2 cucumbers before the frost came and pickled them. Processed a load of carrots and courgettes for the freezer. Some carrots are still left in the veggie beds. Too small to harvest yet. They will be the last veggies left after today.
I will get all courgettes off today even if they are small. I will make something out of them. The rest of the plants didn’t make it.
It is never nice when weather does not play along! I am so sorry about the loss of produce. Frost can wreak havoc. I heard about some "black frost" that devastated hectares of potatoes here in South Africa.
No, it’s sad to see. I am grateful for every little veggie I did get.
I decided to make green tomato sauce with all the small cherry tomatoes as they kept falling of the plants I had hung in the basement. I also pulled all carrots left. They are cute and small but will make 3 dinners 😊
Just crazy, wow that is truly devastating so much.
Happy Friday! Enjoy your days, hopefully with sunshine ☀️
Oh luckily you could use what remained. It is never good to see produce only growing halfway, you feel like there is so much potential left! Especially with the carrots.
Happy new week, hopefully it is not too cold.
I know… you know you could have had so much more. Luckily I could use them…
Thank you so much 😊
It is truly cold now. Night go to -5 and day time is 3 degrees now.
The snow is sooner than I thought. It is about 1 hour away… so it won’t be long before the snow falls.
Today is a possibility and the weekend. It will be beautiful to see again.
Have a wonderful day 👋🏻 not tooooo hot 🥵 for you hopefully.
The earth js testing us with changing things so fast lately.
Oh my, we never get that cold here. The coldest in the middle of the winter is about 10 degrees. So, the -5C would really destroy my body so used to the heat!
I hope that there is beauty in the cold.
The weather here is so strange, some days 30 degrees and then falling back to 15. I hope that the plants will cope with these changes, as such temperature fluctuations can cause some problems (such as mold on the leaves).
Last winter the coldest for me (ever) was -28 degrees Celsius… that’s something else hahaha
We have not got any snow yet. Still some frosty nights. Somehow it warmed up. This week is exceptionally warm for this area. Even the neighbours said, this is rare. We get around 8 degrees today and tomorrow it says even 10.
So I thought… let’s finish some painting on the outside of the cabin.
The base / foundation was in a need of some paint. I wanted to do it next spring. But am squeezing it in now. So it is better weather prove for the long winter to come. I finished 2 sides. Need more paint though. As more layers are needed.
That is a big difference. Wow. I hope the plants will be ok too. Crossing my fingers for you 🤞🏻
Have a wonderful day 😊
