Mother N is always messin with us. One day it will be 40 degrees and all the snow is gone, and the next we have a couple inches of new snow just like tonight. I sat on my deck yesterday morning drinking coffee and looking out over my garden thinking it would be fun to go plant some leaf lettuce in one of the covered beds. Chances are we will get this another five or six time, but I vow to make good use of those breaks by gathering up some manure, rotted hay, wood chip fines, crushed rock, and some coffee grounds. Growing soil (outdoor vermicomposting) is one way to fight the doldrums of winter.

I agree! I would rather cultivate the soil than cultivate plants.
