Sand Hill Thicket<p>Amazing! Here are the veggie plants that are still alive and kicking, having made it through multiple <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/PolarVortex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PolarVortex</span></a> with subzero temperatures this <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/winter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>winter</span></a> in the <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/lowtunnel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lowtunnel</span></a>. </p><p><a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/GardeningMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GardeningMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/GrowYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GrowYourOwn</span></a></p>
Sand Hill Thicket<p><a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/Bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bees</span></a> didn't make it through the second <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/PolarVortex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PolarVortex</span></a> in late January. Did an inspection today. Can't figure why they never moved up into upper deep super full of capped <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/honey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>honey</span></a> 🍯&amp; so they froze. Looked like a lot died in the first <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/PolarVortex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PolarVortex</span></a> &amp; the remainder during the second. I pulled 8 frames full of capped honey (both sides) &amp; brought them in. I'm going to have to extract honey soon. Left the other mostly empty frames out there in a deep box. I will have to put lure out soon. <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/beekeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>beekeeping</span></a></p>
Chad Calsyn<p>More cold weather across the U.S. this week so you're probably hearing the term "polar vortex" once again. Yes it is the cause of the cold air, but there's a lot of confusion about it.

T. J. Bombadil<p>Ominous clouds herald the polar vortex’s arrival. They look kind of like polar bears.
