January Gardening

52 F, hazy sun and January gardening has begun in Newville, PA!  Larry was out trimming and tying up raspberry vines.  The strawberry plants are surviving (with weeds among them to be pulled) and actually creeping outside their low borders and around one of the blueberry plants and into the raspberries.  Much mud, much to look forward to and much to do! 
Bring on the seed catalogues and bring on Spring!


Looking from on top of Jose's playground.     Miller's farm (another Miller!) behind us.

                        Rows and rows to be planned!

Strawberry plants to be weeded later, and replanted.
