The winter of no winter
Comments (13)So much bad weather everywhere. Suzy, I think Italy has been getting the tail end of your dreadful wet: our weather is like yours, but not as severe. Still it has been a VERY rainy winter (and fall before that). Our farmer neighbors had a huge slide in the field below a part of our garden, overflowing into the road below. The badly cash-strapped township has been sending out an earth-mover every day or two to clear the road. They didn't need the extra expense. I'm sorry for all this nasty weather all over. Ours was tiresome, very tiresome, and so much darkness put me in a painful mood for quite a while around the holidays. But, while it's a month and a half early (not good), spring has sprung and I must say it's beautiful. I certainly am not used to seeing roses setting buds and the Salvia guaranitica flowering this time of year. In a normal year it goes from killed to the ground to having eight foot stems, and it's quite interesting to think about what it may turn into this year when it hasn't had any dieback. Monsters aren't in it. You'll survive this year too, somehow, Suzy, and everybody else who's had a really hard winter. Good luck to you all! I hope spring, and the weather you long for, comes soon!

Comments (5)Yes I wanted more opinions from others in So Cal and mediteranian climates as to their specific experiences were with PIG plants. I've had good experiences with Aloe during the winter just planted directly into the ground from cuttings. Also a lot of jade crasula plants straight PIG I haven't had much experience with echeveria, aeoniums, or agaves PIG. I'd assume the echeveria and agaves I should wait til late spring to plant? Aeoniums are winter growers I think. Couldn't I just plant them directly in the ground now? Has anyone had personal experience in a mediterranian climte with aeoniums? More specific is better, as I have a limitted amount of cuttings and not enough plants. I would be devastated if I just tested it myself by planting a bunch of the aeoniums I've been growing and then the cuttings just die Yes that was me before, I turned my mom's yard into a succulent garden. I'm also now working on a rental house of mine and I'm just trying to plant cuttings PIG in ground just so theirs a ground cover that's low maintenence, especially in areas without a lot of sprinklers...See MoreCan you grow winter squash in the winter?
Comments (6)USDA zones are *specifically* how cold it gets in the winter (which is why they are not all that useful for summer gardening). That's all they are. They are "winter hardiness" zones. They are defined by average annual extreme minimum temperature. Mainly used to establish over-winter survivability of perennials, but can also be useful for establishing survivability of winter crops in general. Zone 10b is 35-40F Zone 10a is 30-35F Zone 9b is 25-30F So if you live in zone 10b or higher, on average, you won't encounter a freeze. Now, wind slightly above freezing combined with moist foliage can produce dew point temperatures that are lower than freezing. To the extent squash can't freeze, 10b and above is where you'd need to be in the winter. But squash just don't like cold weather in general....See MoreWinter Interest Dwarf - WinterGold or Little Gold Star
