The bitter cold here in the East has wreaked havoc on the garden this week. I’m not so much worried the many perennial plants, trees and shrubs we have on the property that are fully hardy down to USDA zone 5 and below.
After we are through the holidays on the homestead and into the new year, it’s not necessarily a time of relaxation. Spring, summer and fall are filled with great physical activity, but winter is my time to catch up on that stack of magazines and books that have been piling up.
As you plan your 2014 garden, consider adopting a more organic approach if you haven't already.
Our farm is named after the beautiful mockingbird, which tends to be quite territorial about the property where it nests.
