Winter has come back to Northern Minnesota. Cold, rain and snow. I
planted a row of small blueberries a few days ago. Covered them up
today with mounds of peat so the leaves don't freeze. I bought in
California last year a warm weather rose which had no chance of
making it through the Winter. I covered it a mound of composted
manure last Fall and it was still alive with many buds when I
uncovered it yesterday. Had to cover it again today until Spring
comes back. Even the frogs have been croaking for a week. Frogs are
tough here they even croak when the lakes are partially frozen.
