Although we've been treated to a very mild winter, it's important not to let mother nature outsmart us and our gardens.
-
If you think winter is tough, imagine being a bird. Our feathered friends up north – where food is buried under snow and winter days loom long – have it especially tough. That’s the reason for National Bird-Feeding Month.

Our gardens and flower beds in the doldrums of winter can look depressing and bleak. The barren sticks, the leaf-less trees, the bushes without their flowers … it certainly makes us eager for spring. But let’s not be too tough on winter. This season gives us time to think, plan and appreciate what the coming months have in store.

January seems a slow time in the garden, and more a time for our personal resolutions, but there are a lot of things to do out there!

Visit any park with a tree and you’re pretty much guaranteed to see a bushy tail skitter across a branch. Squirrels are park fixtures, gathering their nuts, playing tag with each other and providing some good entertainment. Celebrate the squirrel on Jan. 21 -- Squirrel Appreciation Day.
