Or more skill!)
- just checking in and see ... we're gardening again.
... not usually a good sign ... but the day turned sunny with not too much wind to blow that freezing drift into my face. Feeling accomplished after the lane clearing.

Was hoping you would give us a snow update. 
I suspected the storm this past weekend hit you pretty hard. Stay warm and active! 25*F here this morning. Ice on the bird baths.... kitties all doing their thing.....

Wow! Great job! You could give Einstein a lesson or two or three...We hired him after a blizzard--couldn't negotiate the street--and he can't hold a candle to you!
Mittens are on snowbank in 2nd pic; gloves are integral to mitten - hope that answers the Q
Sure is pretty and white! That's one of the main problems with city snowfall, IMO, it gets dirty and nasty and sits there looking rather ugly for the duration.
ETA: is one photo missing? Gloves?
. Einstein should meet my Ariens snowblower ... a workhorse in the snow - believe me, it's not me alone vs snow - I would never win.
OK. I see them. I thought that it looked like a keg (or something?)! Don't know what a keg would be doing there. I keep my monitor on the dimmest possible light, and it barely showed up--I was impressed by the height of the snow!Mittens are on snowbank in 2nd pic; gloves are integral to mitten - hope that answers the Q
Yeah, country snow stays white
But I can mention it.

My sense is that the cauliflower head has a lot more water content in its structure subject to freezing temps than broccoli has. For example, cauliflower (not broccoli) can be overcooked in liquid mediums such as milk (or substitute) or flavouring such as mushroom broth - and then blended to become a creamy basis for soups or even desserts such as vanilla pudding. Yikes, don't I wish I could have camouflaged broccoli and other veggies as easily for the kids!

This past growing season I had tried peppers seriously having been encouraged by @LEGION 12 in past. Although Death Spiral and such other hot varieties as pot bubblegum would likely drive out the wild turkeys from dust-bathing in the veg garden (& I couldn't have that) I'm giving it a go again this coming summer - but all sweet and simple. Looking forward to your pics
One thing about the hybrid tomato seeds ... you can't (edit to correct) collect for next spring. Or they may just sprout like weeds from fallen fruit of the upcoming season. I find I'm always weeding out errant tomato plants from the previous year's crop. Tomatoes are survivors.
It's the hybrid varieties that the seeds are not true. I think you can collect seeds from what they call heirloom tomatoes and replant. Yes to lots of volunteer tomato plants. I generally yank them. They never really do very well if you let them grow.
Canceled my order. I ordered the seeds because the catalog said they were "determinant" (vs indeterminant). I wanted to grow it in a container and always looking for a better variety. I called the company and asked if they were determinant. The girl barely knew what I was talking about and barely answered indicating the catalog says determinant, hence they are determinant.... I was thinking the regular variety was not. Anyway, did some checking and the variety is commonly available here in the spring as plants and the variety is in fact the same as I have grown for years. So, I emailed them and hopefully cancel the order and get a credit. The variety is considered "semi-determinant" not determinant. I'll get store bought plants when the time comes as they tend to be fatter than what I have grown in the past.
