It’s not just unseasonably warm. We’ve had days this warm this early many times. It’s that it never got cold. Usually the first day in the garden I can do surface work—trimming last year’s stalks, pruning berries, moving pots.
Today I was able to set up the pea trellis, because the ground is not frozen so I could sink the supports.There isn’t even any frost in the soil, at least 6 inches down. I’m very worried about insects and blight because I doubt it got cold enough to kill it.
Trimmed and raked the asparagus; no stalks peeking through yet, but that’s the Zone 4 part of the garden, so even with the warm weather that’s got another couple of weeks. First half of the pea trellis went up, and I think I’ll put my brussels sprouts there as well (which reminds me that I need to start those seeds, which I actually should have done 3 weeks ago).
Pruned the canes, pulled out the large ceramic pots.
Here we go.
