So far we have had an easy but windy winter along the coast just south of Boston.
No roaring northeast snow storms yet. Inland is a different story with the snow.

My Holly bushes in front are doing well and loaded with reddish berries. A nice sight in the winter.- Tom

Wife's flower seed order came in yesterday's mail.
We haven’t picked a source for tomatoes, other garden items but enjoyed great success with Celebrity tomato varieties in 2019

When we moved to East Tennessee, we inherited numerous holly bushes growing wild in the forest. I love those things! Had no idea they even grew here.

I tried transplanting some babies, but none of them made it. I might Try again.

Got a couple holly sapling=sized trees in the back.

But I want to ask if a certain type of bird cleans off your berries in the late spring?
A neighbor has a big holly tree and it’s regularly and suddenly cleaned of berries- but I can never see it happen.
