That's exactly it... I've found it's way easier, and more beneficial, to do the grunt work in the fall and get ready for spring. The more work you do now, the earlier you can start next year.

Haha, there’s usually some pent up winter blues, so there’s no issues there. I’ve got almost 6 weeks I can work outside before I can plant veggies, but priorities frost, heat and critter protection was low on the list. After that, my dog passed and we decided to change the plan for under the deck and make it a dog run, so that became the priority and by the time that was done my hands were too sore to and I’ve got a puppy to bond and train anyways.

The frost protection should allow me to take advantage of that 6 weeks outside though, and I’m also planning on a greenhouse and/or a cold frame for next year. Christmas gifts maybe :D
