With all the snow- that has melted today since it’s above zero … I don’t think I’m going to be putting the garden to bed properly this year.

I just haven’t been feeling well and I can’t manage to make myself get out there and mound soil around the roses or protect them in any way. My husband knows how to do this but for some reason he’s hesitant to do it without my explicit direction so I guess it’s just not going to happen.

Well I guess this will be a good test to see how hardy some of the plants really are. I know a few of my roses stand a good chance of not making it if we don’t protect them but I might just have to live with that if it happens.

Lets hope it’s a mild winter for my gardens sake.
