Winter Came to the garden October 17, 2012 and it never left. The snow got deeper, the wind got stronger and the temperature dropped steadily from that date on.
My helper, Jacinto, finally conceded and the poly was placed on the doors, the liquids taken to a warmer place and the tools put away until next spring. Thank goodness my Son, Dean, helped me to winterise the equipment . Thank you to Graham for helping with last minute jobs ....and.... friend, Bev helped me clean up and recycle used planter pots on the 12th of Oct.
Winter came with a bang.....and stayed!
There is a privacy about it which no other season gives you.... In spring, summer and fall people sort of have an open season on each other; only in the winter, in the country, can you have longer, quiet stretches when you can savour belonging to yourself. ~Ruth Stout
