Thoughts on recognizing and releasing the creative spirit in us all
The weather is a mix of rain, snow, sun and sleet. It ’s hard to predict if the ground will thaw or if the frost will come to bite overnight. That being said, this is the month to plan. I must decide what to grow and where to put it all.
I also need to keep an eye on the weather. A week or so above freezing gives me the perfect opportunity for some early pruning. I need to make sure that any cuts I make can heal over before another freeze, but it’s nice to get some work out of the way. I’ve got roses, himrod grapes and raspberries to prune. These warm spells are also an excellent time to dig and divide up my oregano and mint. Doing this while the plants remain dormant means less of a shock to the roots and leaves.
