The lull before the storm.
We are having a bit of a lull in the weather. The amazing frosts have passed giving me one final opportunity to get some daffs into the woodland garden. I had quite expected to have to take a mattock to the ground to get a big enough and deep enough hole/s so that I might plant the bulbs. However, to my great surprise, I got the job done with just a garden fork! The woodland is now tidy, and ready for the spring bulbs to put in an appearance but right now that feels like a long, LONG way away.

Hey I know how you feel. We've been scrambling around trying to get as many of our winter crops and cover crops into the ground before winter hits. We have a greenhouse now, so we don't have to struggle quite as much, and we're installing a high tunnel above one of our gardens so we can plant right into the dirt. Have you ever considered raised beds or other containers to plant in? I've heard the ground doesn't freeze in a raised bed. I'm looking into getting some planting containers to give it a try. I heard of NewPro Containers, and some other brands, so we'll see.
