First Snow of Winter 2011-2012

Last Tuesday night, December 27^th we finally got our first snow of winter 2011-2012. Even though it was only about 1-1/2 cm I still did shovel the driveway. Three days later all driveways are dry, even the ones that never got cleaned. Forecast is for plus 6 °C for next few days so I guess the snow will be gone by Sunday. I just love it! Actually, there is a golf course about 20 minutes away that is still opened. I am surprised because it is one of the best golf courses in area called Tarandowah, Scottish links type golf course with lots of deep bunkers. We just love this course with tight fairways and crapload of hazards. We drove by 2 weeks ago and the course was packed.

Early Winter Blast

We got blasted with a snowstorm really early this year. It started snowing last Sunday, December 4^th and today, after four days, is a first day that we didn’t get any new snow. And winter is still two weeks away! Ouch, not a good sign.

Good news is that last week I got my first seed catalog from Johnny’s Seeds. Let the garden planning begin!

This year I'm not going to bather to plant herbs from seeds, it’s much better and convenient to buy seedlings from Heritage Line Herbs that is just short drive away. They have an excellent selection, but I’ll be growing seedlings for specialty Oriental greens and veggies. Unless Deb at Heritage Line Herbs will have them next Spring, that is.

Crap, I need more and bigger veggie beds J !
