Winter Yard Work.

 This is the time of year to get things trimmed and cleaned up outside while nothing much is growing or going on outdoors.  Summertime heat here plus dry spells in the summer mean than we don’t have very much luck with summer grass in the yard. But, we have lots of green in the wintertime.  We sow winter rye in September and then we have a nice green lawn all around the house until it gives up about the middle of June.

There is a lot of trimming and general cleanup to be done. Our little truck works hard (along with Trish!) to haul away the results of lots of work.  

This year’s asparagus gets trimmed back, all the roses are pruned, the grapefruit tree is trimmed, and the garden area is generally cleaned up.  Once all this is done we can look out the windows and begin to imagine what things can look like when warm weather returns starting in March.  We love our seasons.
