Gardenbooty 2010 !

Geared up and trudged out into the misty rain this morning. It's pretty warm for January, a good day to begin pruning. Had a mild panic attack looking around the yard and calculating the length of the to-do list. Yikes!

The expected carnage from December's freeze seems -- so far -- to be low. Lost a $1.50 rosemary and probably the Japanese cedar, but it was ill-fated to begin with. Roses are ok. But I think my edgeworthia has root rot. That's sad. I cry.

Mushrooms abound on old wood stacked by firepit

Thankfully it started to rain hard so I had an excuse to go back inside and worry about all this another day -- like tomorrow.
