My husband I are new gardeners attempting to transform the gardens of our first home. We live in a log cabin on +10 acres of woods. With the help of my husband's parents aka Garden Maven we have been able to lay out trails and choose plants. Everyone needs a little help now and then so this blog has been created as a personal reference for gardening in South West New Hampshire.
We've been chopping wood for the coming winter while watching the World Series. Go Sox! It's much easier when you have a working chain saw. The man of the house is showing off his working chain saw while celebrating in his sawing accomplishments of the weekend.
In the meantime, we are preparing for winter. The Old Farmer's Almanac predicts snow in November/December and it's just around the corner. There are so many outdoor projects to be completed before we proceed with indoor projects. First and foremost, wood for heating.
When I woke up this morning I realized I had taken pictures of blooming wildflowers just in time. Last night's temperatures were below freezing! The extra large water dish, full of water, froze solid and has stayed that way all day.
Fall is in full swing! Our temperatures have fluctuated from record highs for this time of the year back down to the normal lows in the 40's and highs in the 50's/60's. Aaron was able to chop and haul out most of the remnants of the tree that had fallen earlier this year. It's yielded at least a cord of wood or so. He is working his way through the pile, splitting and stacking for winter. Snow is predicted for November/December with the lowest temperatures in January -- just in time for our bundle of joy to arrive! Eeek!
