Last weekend we hit 67°F and all week in the 60s but today the high is 32°. I checked the 2-week forecast and the highs range from 37 to 58° which isn’t bad at all for this time of year here in zone 5b. I’m hoping for it to just continue for a while like that w highs in the 40s, then 50s for a spring during which I can get some work done. Here we have a tendency to be cold, wet, overcast, dreary in the spring and when we finally get a chance to get out and work in the yard it suddenly jumps to 80°. It’s a bear when you have to work for a living and can’t take advantage of good days when we have them. Believe me, I took full advantage of last weekend!

Now the cold will come back but I will enjoy the best hellebores and daffodils I ever remember seeing. Nancy ----------------------------------------- From: "Kitty Morrissy" <1*@rewrite.hort.net>

Here the air traffic are on strike on the 23rd of Christmas. People will worry about getting home or on booked holidays getting away.
Rotters!!!
Merry Christmas and a very happy new gardening year to everyone!
