Cool and rain...this is a Tennessee winter. We are fast approaching the Winter Solstice - December 21 at 1900 hours GMT - the longest night and the shortest daylight. After that, start noticing the minutes being added to your daylight activities.
Garden activities: planning and planting
Take some time on the couch to look at great perennial catalogs, review your 08 garden, think about what you want to do in the coming year.
Yes you can still plant trees and shrubs, as long as you can work the ground. The extra wet season makes it a great time to plant: plants are dormant, they are mostly putting activity into establishing strong root systems, the extra moisture from now through April means this is the easiest time of year to plant trees and shrubs. No worries about extra watering after the first couple of weeks of TLC.
Enjoy the winter.
