Things are still looking up - as additional relaxation over Christmas holiday thankfully brought more improvement to my health. It seems that the knees are the last things to get well, and I still can't squat down to do anything. I'm certainly glad the off-season doesn't require tending to anything in the garden, because it would be impossible to do some things.
However, I did manage to (gingerly) fill the remaining compost bins (5 out of 6) with bagged ingredients, and of course layered them with UCG's, grass clippings, and the various bags of leaves and such. No bags remain, and I hope to find some curbside bags next week, hopefully. They're needed for later, as I really want to get another cycle going in early May.
Another thing on my mind is the upcoming tomato plant propagation, and is only 2 months away from becoming a reality once more. Instead of starting 350 as last year, i'll likely do about 100, I guess. It'll be exciting to grow more varieties this time, but i'll not grow 32 plants like last year. Sheesh....I figure 12-14 will work just fine. Besides, I need lots of space for the many melons that'll be grown. :-) Anyway, i'll reveal the tomato plant list in upcoming weeks.....
In other news, it snowed big time on Christmas Day, and I shot a video of Jude enjoying herself in it. Hope you like it!
Take care, and happy gardening!

I'm happy to hear that your health is improving! Boy, Jude really liked the snow! We are finally supposed to get a snow storm today!
I hope you had an enjoyable Christmas and blessings to you and your family in the New Year!
Wow, you got a lot of snow! We expect at least a foot from the same storm tonight and into tomorrow.
Love seeing Jude playing and eating snow. Glad you are still improving. I hope you are feeling better soon.
We had snow, too! What a big surprise, huh?
Glad you are feeling good enough to work a bit. Jude seems pretty happy. We used to always throw snowballs for our old dogs. I so miss them.
I loved seeing the video of Jude, what a great dog..she loves th esnow. I'm glad to hear that you are feeling a little better and hope your health continues to improve. Can't wait to see all of your tomatoes.:)
So glad to hear (read) that your health is continuing to improve! Jude is so pretty and looks to be having fun in the snow. Our tomato propagation starts next week! Yikes! I don't even have my seeds ordered. Stay warm!
What a happy dog! If my Annie were half that active, she wouldn't be 15 pounds overweight!
You're sounding much better, I hope you continue to improve.
I am jealous of your snow!!! Always fun to watch animals in the snow.
Hi EG! I was surprised to see how much snow you have!!! Wow!
Glad that you're feeling a bit better!!!!
I don't have any seeds ordered as of yet...
I've been playing some with microgreens inside. Got to do a post about that!
Glad to hear you are improving by the day. That is still a nice quantity of tomatoes EG, surely enough to keep you busy!
Glad you are better, and hopefully you'll be all well soon.
Luv Jude. She's a beauty.
How large are your compost bins? You are already out of bags of leaves? We have so many bags left!
