The Holiday season is well under way. We are doing winter clean ups, and getting the gardens looking their best for family visits, and holiday parties. Conifers and salvias, rosemary and cotoneaster are all nice trimmings for an alter or wreath. The sweet spicy smell, and fresh green colours are welcome on cold grey days.

Happy Holidays! Happy Solstice!

Rainy days are great for planning a spring garden!

If you, or someone you know, is considering doing some landscaping, this is the time to Prepare the soil, and get everything ready for planting.

Most Native plants do great when they get transplanted in the late winter/early spring.



The soil is coming alive, and the plants are rejoicing. I don't do a lot of gardening on rainy days. Partly because it's cold and wet. More importantly, walking on soggy soil leads to compaction, and that limits air and water flow, and makes life tough for the little microbes and critters who keep soils healthy. Walking in wet planting beds can also damage roots.

For most trees, we want to wait until late winter to prune, and pruning in the rain increases the risk for plants to develop fungal disease, through the fresh cut limbs.
