I checked soil temp in the seedling cage (36'F). That's down from 44'F on Nov 29th. The ground is still soft underfoot in most areas of the lily garden. Pine boughs are ready to go on, most likely this coming week. We've had less than 1 inch of snow so far. Temp this morning is 33.8'F with a slight on shore breeze off the water. It is the 306th consequtive day with highs above 32'F here. I picked up just a little over 2 inches of rain so far this month.
Jo Ann, if I had half your snow cover I would be happy! I always get up early on this day so I can watch the Sydney Fireworks marking the New Years celebration there. I think their's is the best.
