What's Growing On, Beehaw? Weekly Garden Chat (self.greenspace)

There are about a hundred potted perennials out on my front lawn right now as the latest wintry mix hits our area, and someone dropped off a huge box of cell trays and small pots to us yesterday. Some of them will go to our local library for their gardeners workshops and to prep for their annual plant sale fundraiser, some will go to the Master Gardeners program for their spring fundraiser, and I will attempt to find space for what we end up keeping.

What's growing on with you all?

Oh lawd, she comin

(we're the orange dot down by Wells and Kittery, in the Berwicks). But I have a suspicion you're going to get it worse than we do.

We are going to get pummeled. 55 mph wind gusts! Power outages! YEAH! Although, we have a whole house generator.

Those are nice, we're still trying to gather the money to do one of those or a battery bank for our solar panels, but both are pricey. At the moment we just have a small genny to run the fridge and the well pump

We had it installed about 10 years ago for about $6000. Worth every penny.
