I keep saying to myself that I need to sit down and plan out the expanded garden. It will be roughly 4 times the size of last year and I need to figure out what will go where and when things need to get in the ground. However, global warming has not arrived in Northern Ohio as yet. And although it is not snowing, there’s a cold rain falling that is right on the edge. It’s hard to map out the garden when it does not appear it will ever be warm enough to plan anything. Northern Ohio has dipped below freezing three times (maybe four) in the last week. We’ve also had spitting snow a couple of days. Winter is coming. Today, Dennis is raking up leaves, moving some of the plants inside, and we’ll start coning roses – probably next weekend. It’s past mid-November, and it’s time, but for the past several years, I’m always suprised when winter rolls around. Winter winds are whipping in Northwest Ohio. It was supposed to hit 23 degrees last night. The garden hoses are wound up and in the barn. The leaves are raked up and the roses will be coned soon. That means house projects will be solely indoors from here on out. I started rejuvenating the finish on the stairs a couple of weeks ago. They need a couple more coats of shellac, and then I can start on the upstairs landing. The kitchen hasn’t made any progress since the appliances came in…so we certainly won’t be finished by Thanksgiving.
