What does your garden look like now?
Mine is mostly covered with the 5-6 inches of snow that fell yesterday. In
a few hours, while I'm waiting at the bus stop, I'll take some shots of the stuff poking above the snow. Cheryl |

Cheryl My veg garden is covered with leaves. We are having crazy weather. It was 75 degrees last Tuesday. I may have to mow the lawn in December! Last week I saw a light snow covering, but that was nearby, up in the Cumberland Mountains where I hiked. |

Mine looks tired and in need of rest. The leaves are mostly down and it is beginning to look like winter. Blew off my roof today to just enable the water to run off with excursions to the left or right. Caught a flying squirrel in my attic first time in 35 years. Smacked him with my Japanese hatchet dull side. This in the dark as I like the guys and have worked on bird houses where when disturbed they came out and released their bladder on me. Glue traps with trashing about at 3:00 AM and chewing on stuff made me more of a monster than normal. Bill -- Garden in shade zone 5 S Jersey USA |

Cheryl Mostly, things are covered by damp leaves but there are signs of life. For example I just noticed that the salmon-colored honeysuckle has just thrown a couple of new flowers. An antique rose I'm trying to preserve still has green leaves on it. And I saw some sort of very low growing weed beside the front walk with a tiny yellow flower on it. I wouldn't be surprised to see the periwinkle start blooming if this keeps up for much longer. Oh, and I noticed that some of my ferns out back are still hanging in there although the more tender ones like the "Japanese painted" have died back normally. If I start seeing crocus and hyacinth popping up I don't know what I'll do. -- John McGaw [Knoxville, TN, USA] http://johnmcgaw.com |

Mine looks like a moonscape. Looking forward to spring, though.

The tree frogs have each claimed their own clump of rhubarb now that the mating season is over. I suspect the rabbits are breeding up too as Himself (the red kelpie) insists on going out each night and comes back puffing. He really likes his MacBunny Meals (TM). I had to kill a red-bellied black snake while mowing a few days ago, sad but you really cannot have them round the house as visitors, 'specially kids, may want to play with them. I am still sneaking a few strawberries as they ripen when I go out to work! David |

I was fighting it all season, gave up a couple months ago. Was self-inflicted. Seeded the exterior border with Bermuda to keep the soil from seeping out the cracks between the timbers. Giving the area back to mother nature seems my only recourse. Dave |

Plenty of oranges still on the tree. But the grass is looking a bit brown with the watering restrictions and the colder weather. (Central Florida) |

Been watchin' the weather reports and maps for your region (NC), waitin' for the rain. Lord, that was a long wait but I guess most of Georgia is still waiting. I know your garden was sufferin' but how did it work out? Last I remember, some of your plants were bouncing back. Tomatoes and various peppers were the only ones to last at the end. The first hard freeze/frost got them about a month ago. Flowers/Rose bushes all pretty much survived. I'll know more about a few of them come spring. Our rainfall here in Sonoma County is only about half of what it was last year (about 4" so far I think). The rain quit this morning. Not sure of exactly how much rain we got but there are more than a few puddles still out. It was enough to completely put out a small wildfire (about 50 acres) near by. We are also waiting for the snow. With any luck they will get a dusting of snow up on Cobb Mt. in Lake County soon. Otherwise, it is a 4 hr. drive up to Tahoe (major snow). The elevation there makes some of us geezerly flat-landers a little dizzier than usual. I mainly want the snow for my kids to see and have a few minutes for the older one to play in it...Said there may be a chance for some flurries about the middle of the week. I'm sure they'll probably change that one on us by then! That generally happens anyway. Good to hear from you:-) You too! I've been lurking about a bit. Not much going on in the gardens that I would want to comment on. Been on the busy side too. Shouldn't be on here now! I'm taking a break from getting things ready for tonight. We are having our Christmas play at church tonight. I'm pulling double duty and then some. (I wrote the play, directing, had to take a part due to it being a small community in number, and got a song or 2 to sing!) Wanna come help? We have a '57 chevy in it! LOL! Hope you are faring well! Have a Merry Christmas if I don't get back to you before then! ~Rae |

Jangchub expounded:
I would imagine the knees would have to be different based simply on the size of a woman's structure. No matter what size the woman is, I don't think their skeleton is as large as that of a man. It's not just size, it's the position of our femur in our pelvis, it's a different angle than a man's, that's why we have so much trouble with our ACL's. The structural differences are subtle. -- Ann, gardening in Zone 6a South of Boston, Massachusetts e-mail address is not checked ****************************** |
