RE: Let It Snow! a big house/tiny garden report

in HiveGardenlast year

Tiny garden with fantastic results. Being that we are within a stone's throw of each other we are experiencing the same weather, cold and lake-effect snow, daily.
The food one grows tastes nothing like that bought in the grocery stores and much of that flavor comes from knowing that what sits in front of us on the plate is because of our efforts.

I've heard the same thing, this is going to be a brutal winter

I'm getting ready for it today in my Allegany county home - installing a whole house generator. That probably gives Hochul nightmares, all that gas I'll be using.

I hope the brutal weather holds off until after New Years - I'm driving to Tennessee and back before then. Last year, Tennessee had the brutal weather, and it was 40 degrees colder there than it was here! So much for going to warmer climes.

You know she's turning over in her sleep. We came within a whisker of installing one here, but it just didn't fit into the budget. Bring on the flashlights for one more year.

That sounds like a good time, hope the weather holds up for you. Anymore, I hate driving in snow and ice conditions.

Go figure with the weather, but anything has got to be warmer than here.

lol 33 degrees is not so bad! Course, I haven't left the warm house today except to take out the garbage...

The generator is expensive, but the newer part of this house is all electric, even the water in and out, so I kinda need it. I figure it's a decent investment for resale anyway, and one big worry off my plate. If we get that awful winter, I'll be toasty and comfy in my house.
