This morning I noticed a yarrow plant blooming in the yard. I checked around and clover is growing in the garden beds and the hanging baskets still have flowers. It's been so warm this fall that all the plants are confused and think it's a light deprived spring. I must admit I'm confused too - what is going on? When will it finally get cold and snow?
On the clover if you look closely you can even see some slug damage. That's super bad - it means if we don't get some cold temperatures to freeze off the slugs there will be a plague of nasty garden slimers next summer.
I hope I'm not mowing the lawn in january.
Anyway, I did take the dogs up the mountain this afternoon, and I was heartened that there was even some new snow up there - baby steps forwards to winter. Patrick
