It’s mid-January and the garden is beginning to wind down. As the days are getting longer, plants are beginning to go to seed…Chinese cabbage, collards, in particular.
However…hints of Spring are already showing up…the little buds of the Autumn Joy sedums are beginning to peak through!
Here’s the video tour that is also posted on Youtube on my Secretariat Girl channel.
Chasca went in for her pre-winter sleep physical on September 8, 2021. She got a full exam and is very healthy!
Heart, weight, lymph nodes, ears, eyes…all in tip top condition!
The vet, Dr. Cook, has tortoises so knows about them as well as desert box turtles like Chasca.
Right now, Chasca is digging around places as she gets ready to disappear until next April or most likely May/early June, 2022.
A report on her day getting ready to go to the vet is up on Youtube now:
I have also posted a short take on a “side trip” she took when we stopped at Best Buy before going home!
The Goddess was a big hit with her admirers…yes, she did observe the COVID measures being taken in the store.
I can’t believe it’s almost time to leave for the upcoming winter months and the next chilly spring…
