Solstice a time to reflect on winter gardens - winter reading

Observe the winter solstice. This day marks the beginning of winter and has the shortest period of daylight. In the northeast they seem to be experiencing global warming first hand, perhaps there should be a change in our attitudes toward this fourth season and what, as gardeners, we should expect and attempt, perhaps the landscape should no longer be ignored for four months out of every year. more
