This is a month too late for me, we have an inch of snow and down to -9C tonight. I did get most of my vegetable beds ready for spring, I got the garlic planted mid-October. I got some of my fall plantings mulched. The rest of the bags of mulch are sitting beside the plants they are to go on, I just need a warm day (anything above free zing is warm these days) after a warmish night - there are a few days next week that might work if the forecast holds.
And the hoses, and the garden implements all need to go in the shed, I got most but not all. They'll be fine under the snow, eh?
