Planted snapdragons around today. they about all that will do ok in this winter that the deer won't eat, and still be colorful. Sadly, my copper canyon daisy are looking the worse for all the hard freezes. oh well, they did look great for two months in the late fall. yeah for rain, at least we don't have to water. Wish I had a 50000 gallon water tank to save rain water in! Pruned back the Lady Banks rose and Wisteria HARD this year, keeps them on the arbor and blooming profusely. Will need to do it every year now that they are up to the desired size. Should have some lettuce and chard in the garden ready to pick, just pick the outer leaves and they will keep going all winter.  It's also time to be thinking about dormant spray on fruit trees, especially the peaches, but more on that later.
