Green Thumb Sunday: Non-Green-Thumb Edition

Green Thumb Sunday: Non-Green-Thumb Edition

A Green Thumb Sunday when the ground is frozen once again? Fitting for this perfectly weird edition. First off, an illustration of the ridiculous onion problem I mentioned a few days ago re: why the farmer needs improvement when it comes to fall tasks:

New growth. Plus a lot of crap. Hmm. Is there a metaphor here?

Next, and the real headline news is a massive Victory of the Farmer! Remember that trash can, left by the original owners of the house (before the Farm Consumers)? That trash can that was too heavy to be moved and at one point in the summer became the Squirrel Death Trap, forcing H to fish a squirrel carcass out with a stick? And fling it, making the yard smell horrible for days? Yep, that trash can.

Today, I moved it! And, it's set to slowly melt the little bit of water/ice left inside into the neighbor's mess of a "yard" which is also down-stream of the Farm. So. Excited!!

Farm Vitals

Yesterday's low: 17F
Warnings: Snow. Ice. No, really.
Reason to consider a new career: Maisy caught a bird in her mouth this morning, and when I thought I was going to have to kill it because it was too injured, I nearly fainted. Luckily, it was just stunned. Catch and release, I'm cut out to do... Breaking necks with my bare hands, not so much. But HUGE thanks to Dr. P for the hippie-farming-advice on how to put it out of its misery. And equally HUGE thanks to the bird for rallying and sparing me from having to enact said advice.
