Planted Today

32*, feels like 20*, 87% humidity, N 18 mph wind, light snow

So much for the taste of spring that we had last weekend! We are now covered in a blanket of snow again, with howling winds. it is said that this is the snowiest year in 30 years. All I know is this is the snowiest winter yet I've had since moving to Indiana. So, in protest and FAITH that spring will return in a timely manner, I sowed a few more seeds.

I sowed:

  • Cabbage, Wirosa (2 pots) from a seed trader
  • Nutri-Bud Broccoli (10 pots) from Pinetree Garden Seeds

I saw some cool things last night in the snow storm around midnight as I had come home later then normal because of the bad commute. 1st was a fox on the hunt. He was eating something. He looked up at me, thought about running, and then decided I wasn't going to bother him and continued eating what ever it was he had caught. Then, a bit later, I saw a large herd of deer. There were between 12-15 head in a neighboring farmers field. Good, stay there and quit eating my haunted lilac bushes! Why is it I never have my camera with me when the good things happen?

2 seeds of thought:

How lucky you were to see a fox. I've never seen a wild one. Was this near your house?

But deer? We've got tons of those too.

We have a lot of critters here--possums, raccons, a LOT of foxes, deer, and occasionally I'll get a snapping turtle in the yard LOL comes with being surounded buy farm fields, swamp, and woods.
