Cold Clean Up.

11-16-19 VERMONT: It has been hard to get work done because of the cold. Yesterday was actually OK for the first time in three days, and I did the beds in back of the houses. Because of the frozen snow cover, many of the dead shoots that I would have cut down were buried and other were stuck in the snow. I cut down whatever I could see and raked it all out of the beds. It’s not the job I wanted to do, but I guess it will have to suffice, we will see in the spring.

Today was cold again, but I got out in the afternoon and did the beds around the pond, then I put out the shovels and choppers for clearing the the deck, and the reflectors to guide the driveway plowing. I needed several warm-up breaks, but I’m done with fall clean up. This week has felt more like January than November. NJ tomorrow.


Does it look cold? It is.
