I was going to build one into this house, but the only place to put it has the air conditioning units.

I might be able to find room for them in my fall and winter garden.Stoney Acreshttp://ourstoneyacres.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-52696677163502794992014-02-10T23:33:15.518+00:002014-02-10T23:33:15.518+00:00My cavolo nero is doing the same thing, it always ...My cavolo nero is doing the same thing, it always takes me by surprise when it bolts, it always seems too early. The flowering shoots are tasty though.<br /><br />I keep wondering if anyone is having "normal" weather, we are in the middle of a drought and many farmers in California aren't going to have enough water for their crops this year. We don't get rain in the summer so crops have to be irrigated and there won't be enough water in storage to go around this year.

People may need to delay a bit or select varieties with different/shorter maturities. Like Hoosier's, my garden is frozen solid under 14" of snow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-21869076929522026702014-02-10T20:47:39.138+00:002014-02-10T20:47:39.138+00:00It seems like the weather is a little extreme ever...It seems like the weather is a little extreme everywhere at the moment.

The plot I have decided is having a winter rest & I feel desperately sorry for the people who have been flooded.

Here it has been extreme cold and record snowfall. The soil is frozen rock hard and I'm postponing starting seeds for two weeks.
