Each garden year has its quirks. 2012 was marked by an early Spring that included an apple-blossom-zapping frost, some extreme heat that stopped tomatoes from progressing and a dry, dry August and fall.

Enjoy reading through older posts and stay optimistic for a garden-wonderful 2013. Hope for much snow this Winter! Our trees, yards and farm fields need it.
So until next Spring, we're covered up with mulch!
