"He knows no winter, he who loves the soil,
For, stormy days, when he is free from toil,
He plans his summer crops, selects his seeds
From bright-paged catalogues for garden needs.
When looking out upon frost-silvered fields,
He visualizes autumn's golden yields;
He sees in snow and sleet and icy rain
Precious moisture for his early grain;
He hears spring-heralds in the storm's ' turmoil­
He knows no winter, he who loves the soil."
- Sudie Stuart Hager

Let's coin a phrase from a mid 60's television show, Lost in Space, when "The Robot" says to young Will Robinson, "Warning, Warning". Well that is what forecasters are saying for today ... as a front approaches, bringing warm temps, winds and the possibility of high wind gusts and storms, before returning to more seasonable weather for the weekend. So gonna now step out, check inventory in a few rows of daylilies and work as long as the weather allows.

Hope you have a good day and until next time, Happy Gardening.
