My hibernating garden

I have just started to feel a little bit of garden fever. the Territorial Seed catalog showed up in the mailbox a couple of weeks ago. I went out yesterday, which turned out to be a gorgeous sunny warm winter day to take a peek at the beds.



Still some snow that refuses to melt in the Northern shade.


I put my beds to winter by pulling everything (well except some baby purple onion who decided to actually grow at the end of the season and the parsley). Then I sprinkled on a thin layer of Kathy's worm compost and topped it off with grass clippings and mulched leaves.




Nothing too exciting at all happening to the naked eye. I'm hoping all kinds of wonder microbial things are happening (or will happen) underneath the surface.

I ran across a nice quote that I am embarrassed to admit where I found it. "Gardening is a way of showing you believe in tomorrow"...straight off a paper towel. Lol
