Because most of the garden press are a bunch of sensationalist assholes
looking in vain for something exciting to write about and winter is
typically the slow news season for them.

How come every winter there are posts warning and inquiring of the
poisonous
poinsettia but in the spring there is no concern about the daffodills.
The poinsettia's poison is greatly exagerated. Even though the daffodil is
toxic in all parts, from bulbs to stems to golden trumpets, it is never
mentioned.
