It finally  got cold enough to kill everything. I have taken out almost
everything from the veg garden, and will till it  soon.  I have not used
green manure since the first year I had a veg garden.   I found it to be a
pain in the neck in the spring, because you got all these obnoxious clumps
of dead grass mixed in the dirt, and every  time you tried to rake a smooth
seedbed,  out comes another clump, and it wrecked the level of everything. 
These days,  what I do is a lot of the leaves I  collect, I chop finely
with the mulching lawn mower,  collect with the bagger, and dump onto the
garden,  and mix them in.  I also have a little leftover compost that will
end up in there also. ( In Pergament I just bought bags of Salome and Ice
Follies Daffodils  for a dollar a bag.   Each bag has 6  bulbs.  Everybody
was grabbing armfuls.  The bulbs were big  & double nosed.   )

I'd like to know if anybody has any experience in  growing  Arp Rosemary
outside over the winter in a zone like mine. I'm in Z.6 about  35 miles NW
of New York City.  My whole yard slopes and faces  the north, except for a
tiny place that faces south, but doesn't get lots of sun because there is a
12 foot retaining wall  with  trees  on  top of it.   Lauren
