No that isn't snow.

This is the view from my front porch today. No that isn't snow. It is sleet. It has been sleeting here since around 3:30 am. This morning around 7:30 it was thundering and lightening. It was the wierdest thing. We are however thankful for the moisture. My garden spot out on the farm is terribly dry.

Onions for Valentine's Day?

Yes, Onions for Valentine's Day. According to my extension agent onions should be in the ground Valentine's Day weekend. You can find your own garden planing guide here. The actual planning guide states that you have from February 15 to March 10 to get them in the ground. I guess I should start looking for my onion sets. Have you seen any?

Well it's time to get started again.

I vaguely remember my extension agent saying that "nothing says love like onions." What he means is that I have to have my onions in the ground by Valentine's Day. Take a look at the garden now. Of course it looks much better than it did this time last year. I have 22 days. Think I'll make it?

As promised, the tree in summer

Here is the tree all leafed out or is it leaved out. Can you see the cow? We got to the pond just as they were all coming over the hill. I have other pictures with cows coming later.

I've fallen and I can't get up!

Okay I know that is old, but it still fits. They started to fall over, now I'm just waiting for the right time to harvest. I know my extension agent told me to wait a few days. Of course I can't find my notes so I don't know exactly how many days. I'll let you know when I know.
