December will end up a bit warmer than normal. January will try to make up for that and will get off to a good start Saturday as temperatures will drop until Sunday morning when the temps bottom out in the low single digits. Depending on how much snow we get we could stay below freezing for three days after that.
Forecasts don’t take snow into consideration when predicting temperatures and I am not sure why. My remaining plants can survive a day under cover, but not three.
I took a closer look at the Baker Creek catalog and saw they have a heatless habanero pepper. I got my Territorial catalog today and found they have a heatless habanero as well. Is this becoming a thing in pepper culture?
I just got my seed catalog from Baker Creek. They are offering seeds that produce jalapeños with no heat. That is about as useless as a bag of football bats.
Temperatures are in the 70s this weekend. I haven’t worn short sleeves at Christmas since I lived in Pboenix. Now if I could just do something about the wind.
I got Christmas Eve off, but have to go in tonight. Only two more hours of crappy Christmas music and things should start getting back to normal tonight.
After a month of struggling, I am back up and can post on any device I have. Typing on my tablet is easy, but my mobile device is not designed for typing anything but brief posts. I have a serious case of fat fingers.
Southeast Kansas has another uptick in WuFlu cases. Our department manager* has been told to crack down on mask wearing at Wally World. The store manager has told her too many of us are not wearing our masks and she will watch the surveillance tapes to be sure we are complying.
We have a bunch of people on WuFlu leave. While many of these people are milking the system, it is serious enough to warrant a crackdown. Nobody on overnights has WuFlu and once the store closes, social distancing is assured by the nature of our jobs.
*Walmart uses other names for these positions. I use the plain English translation.
Winter is finally going to arrive this weekend. Temperatures will drop below 20 degrees Sunday morning. After not needing heat the last two days, this should at least help keep the bugs down next summer. Of course now I have to put covers back on my radishes and greens.
My tablet is on its last legs, so I went and bought a new one. Hopefully in a week, I will post on a regular basis again.
A warm Tuesday was followed by a wet Wednesday followed by a cold Thursday. By next week, there might be a light frost. For the first time since April, I broke out the long sleeved shirts. I got the last frost cover at the local greenhouse and made sure it is good to go. Early next week, I will need it.
