Thank you, God, for this beautiful day. A week ago we were waiting for the snow, today the temperature was around 60.
Here in the Chattanooga area (about 2 hours north of Atlanta) we don't get much snow. We usually have one, maybe 2, snows a year, but never much accumulation. A couple of weeks ago we had less than 2 inches, which was mostly ice, which pretty much paralyzed all of the Southeast. Then last week we got 10 inches of snow, which is VERY unusual for us. As you can see, it was beautiful. The best thing about it was that it melted off the roads quickly due to the above freezing temperatures.
Today was really nice and I couldn't stay out of the dirt. Since I practice Square Foot Gardening and use Mel's Mix, my boxes thaw quickly and digging in wet "soil" doesn't pack it down. In one of the 3' x 12' boxes we (I use the term "we" loosely, since my husband did most of the heavy work) added mushroom compost and worked it in well, then moved part of an asparagus bed into it. The roots were huge and I expect quite a nice harvest this year. This was my newest bed, which is about 3 years old now. I now have a total of 100 asparagus roots, so maybe we will get our fill of asparagus this year.
