We are having rain today, tomorrow is freezing rain/sleet followed by 1 to 3 inches of snow, and leading up to sub-zero lows by midweek. I have been checking out warm climate garden blogs such as Garden Spot and Talking Dirty. They both have photos of what’s currently growing/in bloom in their respective gardens and it sure is nice to look at! I have to confess I have found it challenging at times to think of things to post besides weather whining, spring longing, and garden dreaming. Figures I’d start a gardening blog right about when my garden was going to sleep.
Now, Judy, I’d like to learn more about this radicchio. When did you sow it, where and when did you plant it (if different from the sowing), and how have you been protecting it? Or should I say, if you had been having your usual, not-so-mild winter, how would you have been protecting it? Any other vegetables you’ve been growing this same way? And thank goodness the deer didn’t nibble your fruit trees!

we’ll be the envious ones come mid-september when we’re still suffering daytime highs in the 90s and overnight lows in the 80s!

Yes, I have a lot more trouble dealing with the heat than I do the cold. I try to remember that when I feel like whining about the long winters!
