event time...

...tells me there was snow yesterday...

and that today most of it is gone...

except for some icy residual left in places like the rye...

and wheat beds...

it also tells me that, despite a lingering hint of green, it is time to take down the asparagus...

so i did...

and mulched the crowns with a bit of straw and compost...i will be feeding them more heavily in march...

there was a single berry left on one plant...so i planted it...and marked it with a bamboo...we will be looking in on this come spring...stay tuned...

there's still green out there...aerial bulbs from the walking onions are sprouting...there are green berry leaves in the bed yet...probably will be all winter...

and their nascent roots are spending late december looking for some soil.
