We've had winters with dips into harder colder temperatures, and we've had winters that were very mild. This one has been a mostly sustained cold and overcast (yet quite dry) season. Usually there is winter/weed (cheat) grass growing in the dormant Bermuda grass, but most of that is not growing this year. Since mid-December the weather has generally been down to or below freezing at night and not much above freezing during the day. This weekend has been more typical of a Texas winter, cold mornings but up to the 60s by late afternoon. I hope we're past the grim weather and have occasional warmer days for yard work.

My broccoli was hit by the cold and dry, so I picked the crowns (gave to the dogs) and pulled it. I don't usually have to water in the winter but that didn't work this year. Soon potatoes, and if I get time this afternoon, onion sets will go in.
