Here in soggy northern california we have had a very wet winter so far.
The evening temps have been around the mid 4o's and the daytime has stayed rather cool ( mid to high 50's ) due to the grey cloud cover.

Its been too wet to really do any ground amending work, which is what I usually work on at this time of the year,
If it dries out in the next few weeks I will go out and winter prune my hedge of Evelyn roses and apply the first dormant oil and copper spraying.

I will probably construct a few frost protection tee pees, just in case a heavy frost is predicted so that I am ready. I planted a tropical inspired garden this past year and it will be interesting to see what survives during this winter season.

I dig all winter long Lee, it's my favorite time for transplanting. As long as the ground isn't frozen and I can muck around in it I will. It makes up for summer here when fifteen minutes outside in 90+ degrees instantly wilts me.

Trudi,
I just read your article on sowing seeds during the winter and found it very interesting and inspiring! I wonder if there are any articles written on this and definitely keep record of your post. You are on your way to a good book or at least an informative pamphlet! Nice work! Happy gardening! Lee

P.S. I am still digging, but the ground is starting to get hard!
