Winter "Gardening"

* we almost forgot to drain our rain barrel for winter.
just a reminder for those of you who have them!

* karl bought an aerogarden for us, but I don't have it up and running yet. it won't grow much, but at least i can have some fresh herbs. has anyone tried one of these yet?

* has anyone tried cold frame gardening?
i'm curious for feedback about your experience(s).

i harvested some very frozen lettuce heads today. the last of the season. nooooo!!!

earthships

i have a friend, jason rainey, who is very interested in learning about earthships...i remember talking to jeff & michele about theirs...would you (or anyone who is also interested) be willing to chatt with jason about it? if so, email him @ jasontrainey@yahoo.com. he is very excited :o)

Hmmm... it's November what???!!!

It's the 17th of November today.

This morning, we woke up to see our garage roof covered in snow, though it melted quickly. Today it has snowed, sleeted, and even rained several times.

I went outside to get some fresh rosemary. About a month ago, we transplanted some in pots to grow in the garage to make it last a little while longer; but today, I found I still have some surviving in the garden! Hurrah!

On my way out, I made a discovery by the side door.... a single perfect purple clematis bloom. Huh!

It's not "quite" winter yet! ;-)
