Winter was hell.....sole source of heat the iron wood-stove with crazy old unlined chimney that crackled with creosote due to our burning green wood. Cant count how many panicky nites we had, with Kaaren running outside to check if there were flames shooting from the chimney while Shermen listened for fire in the walls. Kaaren resorted to showering at Mom and Dad's when the chill got to her. Shermen the trooper, still enjoying the novelty of hot water in a shower vs standing at the kitchen sink in a cooler with a cup the year before.
Still getting too late of a start...with the planting, all the seedlings we started with a grow lite in the cellar were wiped out by ladybeetles. Mint and dill need to be planted in containers so they don't take over whole bed.
