Winter Chores

Untitled

Compared to the last week, temperatures today were rather warm, so I spent some time doing winter chores in the garden. Performed some grape and blueberry pruning, potted up some cuttings, and mulched here and there. Decided also to transplant the red and black currants from their spots in the garden proper to the blueberry patch. In their old locations, they were restricting the walking flow in that part of the garden, and having joined the blueberries, they’ll now be protected from birds when the blueberry defenses go up in the spring.  In other news, both the kumquat and mandarin trees made it through the recent freezes, and the kumquat fruits are ripening nicely!
