even with all the snow we STILL have on the ground (after about 2 weeks of
rain and warm weather)...if i COULD MAKE MY WAY to the Rosa rugosae, i WOULD
trim them---they're needing pruning very badly as our first snow came about
2 months earlier than expected....and i don't mean a light dusting on the
ground: i mean ONE FOOT of white stuff. i was able to make SNOW ANGELS for
halloween!!!! ;o

...or *something*!

Even in So. Calif coastal, where it's usually mild, we're not
having much winter. Garden things are happening out of season.

For example, the leaves haven't even finished falling off my Wisteria,
when a few blooms already appear.

And my Cape Jasmine is flowering up a storm, way ahead of time.

I usually prune roses late January, so went ahead and did it,
but had to remove a lot of lovely, lush new foliage.

Any other "early" stories out there?
