Crops over the Winter

Our cover crops and over-wintered crops are holding up. Everything looks tired and frozen and the pansies look especially frozen! It will be interesting to see what happens as things start to thaw out in a few weeks.

It is exciting to think that we will be watching the groundhog in Pennsylvania soon enough who will be telling us about the rest of our winter! It is tough being a skier and gardener - do you hope for more or less winter!?

Our new garden spaces are littered with wind-blown tree debris, and some of the raised-bed lumber will need some TLC. In a few weeks, as the thaw begins, it will be time to start the chores (or labor of love).

We were teased a day or so ago with things to come and experienced temperatures in the high 40's. Remember a few short of months ago when we thought high 40's were cold?
