I remembered a couple outside chores I needed to complete before winter fully set in &#8211; unhooking and pulling the hoses for winter storage. I also needed to throw straw over some of the planters, so I got that finished today. Doing so, I saw that there were a bunch of new chamomile seedlings starting, so I hope with the insulation, they will survive the winter and I will have a good start to the growing season come spring. All I have left outside now are the last two bundled up tomatoes and the cucumbers that I left to decay to collect the seed (though the deer have been clearing those out).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyhow, because of the late start and things I had to take care of, I don&#8217;t have much to say today.
