Best time of the year!
But I have enjoyed shoveling snow in the densely populated neighborhood, which can much vary. From virtually no snow a few winters ago to over 100'' in Feb. in 2015!
Snow helps the soil also.
Here, we have a whole crop of late tomatoes that need to ripen, and hope and pray that as last years anomaly, warmer than avg. temps will prevail overall, and the first frost will not take place until Nov.
A lot of rain has fallen in the last 2-3 week, and what is very noticeable is that some tomato plants more than others sometimes did not get much water during the summer, and the older leaves wilted, though still producing tomatoes.
But with more rain the same plants that lost entire branches now have thriving new growth, thanks be to God. I also had sprinkled some18-10-10 dry fertilizer around about a month ago.
The bees are out there still, in the 60f days, though i have been snipping off the yellow flowers in order to send a signal to the plants to focus on ripening the fruit they have. I am not sure if that works, but i read it.
He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. (Psalms 104:13)
Meanwhile m,any butternut squash are doing their thing, thank God, and i leave most in until near the first frost, if i have the patience and some are not requested.
