Field & Garden: Winter
- Keep the woodbox full and the ash pail outside.
- Feed the birds once begun, and keep the feeder filled.
- Check the roof after a heavy snow, and clear the vents.
- Order seed early; the catalogs are at Hardware & Feed.
- Tap maples when the days thaw and the nights still freeze.
