What's New
Time to wind up the garden, and the year.............
As we hear 'Last Call' on the 2025 garden season, there is only a small window of time [here in Z4 -5], to do any more, but that is the platform for Spring.
These last few days might be useful for a few tasks, but once ground freezes, that is it.
Once we are shut down, we switch to the list of planning and preparing for Spring.
We might already have lists and notes to guide us, or we might need to identify where we spotted problems or a need for improvements we found this year.
You may even have a greenhouse or over-wintering dormant plants you will need to care for during winter. Or maintaining deer protection might be on your list?
The next few months are a chance to rest and recharge, but also to enjoy time for research, education and the horticultural industry to show off the new plants and trends.
But mostly for us to rest a little, but to get excited and work on 'Spring Plans'.
If you need to speak to contractors, ready for next Spring work, any time from here is beneficial, while they have time....
If you grow from seed, now is a good time to secure those seeds and supplies for the early Spring starting, and early orders for Spring plant deliveries, can be done very soon, which might secure your order before the late ones...
Hope these thoughts are helpful, and keep thinking ahead, and planning, but find time to enjoy the rewards of the 'Winter Garden', and check up throughout the Winter.
It can be nice to enjoy being outside, checking on plants, and what is budding up, or just enjoying the winter light, or wildlife looking for the food you grew for them!
Enjoy this special season, and take a moment to enjoy the rewards.
Hope everyone finds something new and wonderful for 2026!
More to follow, but if you have questions, I will try to answer via email, [just use the contact page].....
