I guess the garlic mulch is really being tested. Pouring rain today then down to -3 tonight and down again to -11 C (12 F) the next night with no snow cover expected.  That is probably about as severely cold as it normally gets here, not counting windchills.
OTOH I'm thinking it is a bad winter for rats as well.  For sure they count on the snow cover to provide a place for them to shelter. Minus 11 might be enough to freeze em in their ground burrows without the snow to insulate em.  Or so I'm hoping. I feel mean and cruel saying that, but... if nature can reduce that population, it is for the best. |
Man, that's wishful thinking. I had a rat chew through my aluminum seamless guttering the other day.
Agree Worth1, it's a yo-yo here too. Getting a little wall - eyed from the strain. Damp too. Could be the makings for a very violent spring with all these swashbuckling fronts. The winds have been ferrous too. Got some onion blunts I need to get in the ground - hoping this weekend.
