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)
- 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.
- 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! |
- potatoes in the greenhouse (sprouting in the pantry)
- kale
- collards
- lettuce
- oregano
- parsley
- chickweed
- Jerusalem artichokes
- hopniss
 |
| 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. |
