  • 2nd: 0.8″
  • 5th: 0.26″
  • 6th: 0.03″
  • 18th: 0.23″
  • 19th: 0.34″
  • 29th: 0.01
  • Total: 1.33 inches

 Temperature 

  • range of nighttime lows: 14 to 54°F (-10 to 12°C)
  • range of daytime highs: 40 to 77°F (4.4 to 25°C)
Weather Notes
  • Temperature only tells part of the story, doesn’t it? Our first week this month had normal December temps, but the humidity was in the 90s percent all day and a cold sharp wind blew constantly. It reminded me of our first winter here! But there was a big difference because of all the work we’ve put into the house over the years: all new energy efficient windows, added insulation, and thermal curtains. That first winter the kitchen would regularly be around 45°F (7°C) in the morning. Now, it’s typically in the mid to low 60s (mid-teens). 
  • By contrast, Christmas week was downright balmy.
Greenhouse Notes
  • Of nighttime temps, our lowest was 14°F. The greenhouse got down to 24°F
  • My concern was for my transplanted bell pepper plants

These are the pepper plants I transplanted from the keyhole garden

I filled in the box with straw and leaves, covered each plant with a
five-gallon bucket and covered it all with a blanket. They survived!

Planted
  • potatoes in the greenhouse (sprouting in the pantry)
Harvested
  • kale
  • collards
  • lettuce
  • oregano
  • parsley
  • chickweed
  • Jerusalem artichokes
  • hopniss
Photos
My Jerusalem artichoke harvest has been
 fantastic. This is the largest one I’ve ever dug up. 

My pea experiment is successful so far.
No flowers yet, but the plants are healthy.

That’s about it for me. Anybody else have garden news to share?
