It was again cold this morning, but not as much as this morning. I watched the morning news for a while and then went to work carving our pumpkins. I sat around watch videos on You Tube for a while.
I brought in the pumpkins and started to carve. But first I looked at a lot of images online to get some ideas. I used a sharp fila knife to cut off the lid. It took a lot of scraping to remove all the seeds and gook. They are really slippery Their slippery-ness made it difficult to pull out everything. I marked the location of the eyes, nose, and mouth. I then carved those features. When finished I got an anaheime pepper from the garden to give the pumpkin on the left a long tongue.
I went out to the greenhouse to see how progress was coming. House to was cleaned up. The white is white plastic but by first glance it looks a little like snow.
Pumpkin with tongue which looks more like a red cigar.
All together
Sunday, I covered the carrot plants with
Styrofoam to keep them from freezing. I added more Styrofoam yesterday. To day I removed the snow and ice from them today and covered the whole thing with poly that I used last year. A 2x2 is attached to both sides which prevent the wind from blowing off the Styrofoam. I can easily remove to remove the snow.
I put Styrofoam on the sweet potato plants. The soil was frozen solid. I hope that the heat from the soil will thaw the frozen soil.
I cut away the frozen tomato plants from the trellis string. The trees shaded the area from the sun. It was getting a little cold. I stopped hope to finish it tomorrow afternoon.
