Hi Kathy – great pictures. I look forward to a winter thaw.(zone 4b) Last year the side garden was thawed early enough to make a new very early veggie bed. This year I am anxious to get out there and dig out some hops vines. Gloria

Wonderful tour, Kathy, and great to remember that the little plants are out there still doing their thing. We were away for the thaw, but back to the NY for the big snow! It’s pretty, and pretty windy, and I can barely see the tops of the leeks overwintering out there. Can’t wait for snowdrops! Happy New Year

I haven’t seen any sign of my Galanthus. Last year, they were a puny showing. This year is not looking any better. Happy New Year, Kathy! H.

I don’t even want to know how cold it is out there, but I am looking at cold weather vegetable seeds to start. We are in northern Utah, and the deer don’t even want to be out there. Happy New Year!

Everything here is under about 10 inches of snow, so I’ve had precious little to look at! I would love to be able to take a peek under the snow blanket and see how everything is doing. At least the garden should be well insulated at this point. Happy New Year!

My winter walk these days is just out to the hen house and back – being careful not to slip on the ice underneath the snow. We had rain too, then the lowest temperatures yet and more snow. Today it was 5 degrees and windy, but now I’ve got to gird my loins and water those chickens!

The snow here in Northern Michigan has blanketed all but the tops of the Brussels sprouts. The snow came late for here though and as a result my rutabagas froze before I could get them dug. Last year I got lucky and dug rutabagas into January!

I’ve never grown the cyclamen in this climate. I’ll have to give the one you mention a try.

No thaw here yet but I did peak at the garlic under the straw mulch and there seems to be a bit of activity there. Must get out more.
