This is truly borrowed time in the North East of the United States. I love to garden, and one of my biggest complaints is the length of the growing season. Perhaps this year we got a reprieve from the harsh winter winds. I worked in the backyard more in December this year than most Octobers.

Two of my 4 vetegable beds are already turned over and ready for spring, I thinned and replant my Strawberries, I cultivate two empty garden beds and have already begun using last years leaf mold as mulch around the Raspberries and Hellebores.

I often think about moving south, but if this is global warming at it continues, I'm staying right here.
