How many of us real traditional gardeners are left?
You know the ones that save seeds at the end of every summer and
religiously sow them at the begining of the next year and on through to
spring.
The ones that dig over their vegetable patch every year.
Yes and those that spread that heavily scented (or stink as my dear
wife calls it) compost on their veg patch every autumn.
And those of us that still grow rhubarb, gooseberries and all manner of
soft fruits.
Those that actually use their greenhouse as a greenhouse. All those
lovely fuchsias, stopped and mollycoddled, to create a perfect plant.
And rows and rows of fuchsia cuttings rooting in a mixture of peat and
sand.
And yes I will be out there Christmas day, rain, sun, snow or whatever,
sowing my broad beans.
Who else will???
All the best

Does watering and propagating indoor plants count?
It's not exactly -- "out there"
High temp today was 34F and was Low 18F in Southeast Michigan.

Ingrid just brought home a jade plant 2 hours ago. Flowering.

Bill who moved some wood chips about and thought of transplanting a few
small maples. Lined up a guy to take cord wood.
