Early Winter: What to do when it's snowy but not frozen

There's a pleasure in seeing the first real snow. We know that winter has truly arrived, given us a time out and mulched the beds for us, to boot. 
 

Early Winter

These ensemble editions of our What's Up! and Grow newsletters were written for Early Winter. They address what people see in Early Winter as well as what they could be doing then to have a more beautiful, productive, easy-care garden.

  • Early winter is when there's been snow but the ground is not yet frozen
  • In most places in North America, that's Mid-December to early January
