Mark it's nice to see that you are thawing things out. Soon it will be time to be filling them up. When do you close things down? I know that you are starting your seeds now.

Patti, I shut them down in October, it takes a full month. We clean out plants, sweep, then douse everything with Greenshield. I will GS everything again before plants go back in.
Plants are coming up, I started my first batch of 306 plants, should have ripe fruit by the end of April and full on production by mid May when all of the flower people are buying flowers. They cannot resist vine ripe tomatoes. |

Do you bother with saving runoff Mark, or do you have plenty of available water?. Rainwater here seems to be way better than city water.

We have plenty of water, my well water is better than any bottled water I have ever tried. We drink bottled water anytime we travel to a large city or go out of country, I don't drink recycled/ treated water.
I am heading up north this weekend, will take some pics of real snow loads. LOL |

You ever make snow ice cream or is the air pollution too bad?

They say you're not supposed to eat yellow snow, but with a little sugar and vodka, it's not so bad:

That is hilarious, hopefully you won't look like your having liver failure. LOL Snowing again, ice coming too, this may get ugly. They lost a couple buildings in Anchorage.
