47 degrees outside, cold and wet. When will it end? At least no tornado's and flooded rivers in Maine.

How about turning your vegetable garden beds by adding a lot of compost using a time honored technique called digging in the dirt.
After all it is dirt digging season, burning season ended the end of April.
I guess you've gotten spoiled by all of the pellet heat this past winter.

Now c'mon Smokey,
Are you really going to tell us that you are not burning at all? I have a place on Sebago and I was running the heat this past weekend. It's not like you are in the Gulf Stream over there in Standish.

Not burning and haven't since the end of April.
It helps when you have insulation. Even have had the screen door to the deck and a few windows open on some days. Mowed the lawn the last two Fridays.
As long as the boss lady doesn't get chilled I prefer things in the 60's in the house. The only reason I started burning early last fall was because we went up to our son's camp in Litchfield on October 9 and she wanted the heat on here when we got back.
I live closer to North Windham than what is known as the village of Standish.
We are normally really busy this time of year getting the gardens and yard taken care of so it is absolutely no trouble to stay plenty warm. I have four vegetable beds and several deep beds for root crops to dig in the stuff I spread on the old beds last fall, in fact two of the deep beds and one of the garden beds are new this spring.
I removed one set of compost bins and built a new set of bins the new ones will also be planted this spring (they are already cooking). It is very good use of pellet pallets. I'll be building another set of bins to dump stuff in.
We also added a new flower bed which I filled this last week (house had zero landscaping when we bought it). Been a might busy around here.
Like I said in another thread things around here come by the cubic yard or in heavy bags. Which reminds me I've got to get more pine shavings (deep litter system for the chickens and future compost to grow giant mutant squash in).
Late summer early fall is a major canning season for us. I've been known to have several canning projects in the works at a single time.
