In the Garden

Which Oklahoma winter is it? You could be reading this on a sunny, warm December day or by fireside in a November ice storm. The clover and peas sown in early fall are likely still hanging around and the oats are brown from frost or going to seed. Winter is always a fine season to reflect and plan. Spend time recalling the failures and successes of previous seasons and mapping out where next year's crops will fit in. A person can take a good look around the garden while it has less foliage, making it easier to see where to reform rows or address infrastructure. It’s a season to breathe and observe and knock out those tasks left undone in earlier seasons.
