It started snowing around two this morning. After breakfast there was six inches of snow on our driveway. It snowed most of the day and added another four inches of snow.
First thing after breakfast was to turn on the furnace in house six. There was about ten inches of snow on the poly. I remove the deep snow in front of the door. I turned the on the furnace, the gas was ignited, and then I hung the poly Curtin over the fan on the north west corner. I left and came back because the furnace shut off. I followed the thermostat wire to the thermostat which was covered with dried left over tomato plants. I turned it up and the furnace turned on. I left it on the rest of the day.
This is the first picture I took this morning. It is ponderosa pine decorated with frosty snow.
House six is warming some. The snow is beginning to slide.
The snow on the top of the roof also is beginning to slide. By the end of the day, most of the heavy snow had slid down the sides.
Robert and Frank were here. Robert prepared a planting bed in house six. He removed all of the plant material, then drove the tiller through it five or six times. We stretched the twine to show the boarder on both sides. Other areas will be prepare at a later date. It is ready for carrot, red beats, chard, turnips, radishes, etc.
Robert is planting the Styrofoam trays with leafy vegetable seeds. Frank is helping.
Robert transplanted a lot of the lettuce.
I had bush snap beans here that were not doing well. He pulled them up and replaced the with lettuce.
On the left are the lettuce plants left over. Will find a place for them.
We have a lot of Styrofoam plug cells. I cut them into five inch sections. Robert finished the day by planting various seeds of leafy plants.
We have had problems with snails and slugs. Frank brought three cans of beer. He poured it into soft cat food cans. They are partially buried in the soil. It is said that beer attracts slugs and snails. We will see tomorrow afternoon.
