The 2024 Garden Year

January 19, 2024 January Our year started with snow, ice and frigid temperatures in mid-January. Our temperatures stayed below freezing for almost a week.

Once again, we almost lost the azara and I'm afraid there would have been some breakage if I had not kept knocking the ice off.
