February 14, 2026. Reporting from the southern Minnesota composting space. The compost was covered last fall to moderate the temperatures to get more days of biological action. This compost is frozen solid for our gardening friends in warmer places. The space is a three bin space with imaginary dividers. This works well for managing the materials with a pitchfork. #Zone4b, #compost, #nodig, #compostodon, #minnesota

February 6, 2026. Gardening report. Winter season pruning of our apple trees is happening. The temperature was a pleasant 1 C in southern Minnesota. There was a lot of growth during the 2025 season. Some of the waterspouts at the crown are two meters long. Pruning can be a time of zen. #gardening, #apples, #Zone4b
