Garden Update

While it's chilly today, I took advantage of the recent balmy weather to remove some of the mulch from my garden beds and to trim the trees. We trimmed some oaks so I gathered the branches, some of which were tree-sized themselves. I pruned the apple trees (I have a very difficult time pruning--I never know what to cut and what to keep!). Also, I found some lettuce. Yes, that same lettuce that I nibbled on the first of December last year. I had left my plastic cover in place and the snow covered it. I peaked under the plastic and there were a few leaves growing. I suppose the root systems survived. Will they survive this next blast of cold air? I can only hope. Maybe I'll be eating fresh garden lettuce in March!
