Preparations

The blood orange tree is festively draped with Christmas lights, in anticipation of near freezing temperatures tonight. Allspice (in pot) is cuddled up next to the house on the back porch. Winter squashes stored on the back porch are allowed inside for a couple of days. Bergamot oranges harvested, since it was time anyhow. Limes mostly left on the tree to fare as they will. Lemons, eh, I don't worry about the lemons. Picked all the peas that were big enough (mmm, peas!). The rest of the veggies will be fine (beets, fennel, turnips, kale, broccoli, kohlrabi, chard, even the lettuce).

According to the most current prediction, the low won't even reach 32. I expect all should be just fine.

That is not what I've been looking forward to for potlatch!

Winter's tough all over, bro.

It's 32F right now! Good thing I don't have anything to worry about in my yard. Although maybe I should have worried about my roses. Oops.

Hey, roses live in Minnesota, for gosh sakes! Don't waste any angst on them.

Still 42 here. Got snow?

yep, lemons are tough, for citrus. I can hardly wait to see the garden.
