I’ve been looking ahead to fall/winter for several weeks now. Not sure why but my turning inward started early this season. The farmers almanac is calling for a cold and snowy winter for us, yay! This reinforces my need to settle in early for a long winter. I want to try and keep some of my garden growing as far into winter as I can. I know I said I wanted to put it to bed, and I did take out the tomatoes(they were not doing well) but….now I want to try and succeed at a winter garden. Winter gardens are not nearly as time consuming as summer ones so I have hope. My main reasons for putting forth the effort are to lower my food bill and keep as much local eating going as long as I can. I’m feeling a strong need to save more $$$$ and that just isn’t happening the way I want it to right now.
We’ve had a cool few days and even a couple of rain showers which kept me indoors and the creative bug hit. I’ve sewn curtains for the dining room and my bedroom and a warm blanket for the living room on cold chilly nights in front of the fire.
more to come on the garden plans….
