Frigid days in Southern California

[calizen]

Well, not so bad as most folks east of California or in Canada or in Europe. Just at freezing, which is horrendous for a lot of the tropical plants people have here. I think I heard that Boston was warmer than us. Will be whacking back some of my roses. They can survive as bushes but their leaves are looking yellow. Not at all happy with blasting winds from Canada and Alaska. I've been terrible with the garden. Tip-toeing around, not sure my knee will take digging up stuff. Kneeling is now a thing of the past. You should see me struggling to sit down on the ground. A big ga-plop! No gently easing downward anymore.

Well, we'll see if I save the garden for winter plantings or just give up for this year in doing anything worthwhile. Sometimes you do what you gotta do.

Stay warm, folks.
