Sunset is after 5 PM now! The long tunnel of winter is getting shorter.
But...we're supposed to get 3-4 inches of snow tomorrow. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A bright, crisp day in ‘Sunny’ Bournemouth 8c/47f. Roll on the Spring.

Yep, the days will continue getting longer until June 21.
😎
Love it
Bring on the Sun!
So far I can't complain about this New York winter too much, it's been constantly cold but the snow mostly came in one big storm and it's all gone now
I'm reading the gardening catalogues and making big plans😃
Do you grow your own veggies?
shareI do tomatoes, bell and hot peppers, cukes, small pumpkins and a few others staples
Herbs all over the garden in medium to large cloth barrel-shaped bags
I put in a 200 square foot pumpkin patch this past fall with lumber and compost, I'll seed it in early summer and cross my fingers (I may need netting for it, it's down on the slope by the woodlot...critters!)
Ah, yes. Critters! Mr & Mrs Neighbor usually have a small garden. Last year he had to replant the corn three times because squirrels kept eating the sprouting plants. He finally learned that if you sprinkle cayenne pepper around the plants, the critters leave them alone.
shareThe cayenne around the pumpkins might be a good idea, there are a lot of plump little grey fellows in the woodlot
