I understand. I really do. I came from the frozen ground and blizzards in April and May weather of northern New England. I picked here on purpose. My goal is to use what little sunlight I have to best advantage. I'm hoping to grow a crop of tomatoes that can be canned for the winter and maybe experiment with some other full sun veggies to see if I can make it happen. Mind you, every morning this week has seen my bird bath frozen, so we're not out of the winter woods yet. It's just that we also have so much rain that the ground is soft. It's the perfect time to dig holes. In summer, when most others dig in the dirt, our clay-rich soil becomes impacted and intractable. It's best to be out with an extra layer digging now.
