  1. 5 inches just east of Kingston. Some may have blown off already...it is quite breezy!
  2. The 12km NAM. But I think it is just that it looks drier in the southern valley. The snow totals just had that "look" to me. But that was before the caffeine kicked in. I have just been warm nosed to death in Roane county so now I see that boogeyman everywhere!
  3. Good. Those things are stinky! (I have two in my front yard)
  4. Getting ready to read the disco now, but my jaw dropped when I saw the quintessentially conservative MRX actually issued a WSW for even the valley. I thought it must be one of two things...either the models are amping up OR it is the end of this winter season and if they are wrong, no one will remember by next winter.
  5. That would be a GREAT birthday present to me!
  6. Finally made it to 1 inch IMBY on I-40 a few miles east of Kingston. I am right in that heavy band, so it is coming down pretty well, but very small flakes. I just saw that rarest of rare beasts...a snow plow...scraping in front of my house on Lawnville Rd. Oh my!
  7. MRX just issued a Special Weather Statement for Roane County and counties south of here. Probably just to be cautious and at least mention the possibility of a dusting to an inch. I really have no idea what to expect here. I have a feeling someone, somewhere is going to get a surprise or two.
  8. I think I am going to try the pink Brandywine again. I bought seeds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds (rareseeds.com) last year but out of the 16 seeds I planted there was only one survivor and it just never did very well. I got a couple of tomatoes from it. I am not sure what went wrong, I’ve had GREAT germination rates from most of the other seeds I’ve bought from them. I will be planting Bonny Best, which usually produce like gangbusters for me. Also Rutgers, Beefsteak, Pantano Romanesco, Mortgage Lifter, and Hartman’s Yellow Gooseberry (VERY prolific and delicious yellow cherry tomato). I usually like to try one or two new varieties per year as an experiment. I think I am going to try one called “Break O Day” this year that is supposed to be a “workhorse” of a tomato. We’ll see. I will probably be starting the seeds this weekend. The past several years they have been ready to put in the garden after about 6 weeks, so hopefully that will be about right.
  9. Stove, what varieties of tomatoes are you growing this year?
  10. Containers should work just fine. I've grown them in 5 gallon buckets before and had them actually produce more tomatoes than the ones in my raised beds! Just make sure to stake them well or put a tomato cage on them and you should be good to go.
  11. This is WONDERFUL! Thanks so much! I agree with the pinning request.
