I’m almost embarrassed to say, since so many people are suffering from the cold, that we had a high of 73 degrees here today.

I spent the late afternoon repotting some of my starts, planting “Pink Lemonade” blueberries in a couple of pots (wish me luck with these!) and general garden clean up. I was wearing shorts, a t-shirt and had an ice cold drink.

Don’t worry — we pay for this in the summer when we’ll suffer through the 110 degree heat!

I think my face just turned green.LOL I hate the cold, now that I am older. It makes my bones and joints ache.

I planted the Lemonade blueberries and haven’t had any berries. I think this is maybe going on to the forth year. I was surprised that they keep their leaves on over winter. I made a point of putting lots of fall leaves and grass over their roots and will give them more fertilizer. Maybe that will help.
