I assign still getting lettuce from your garden after Thanksgiving. Sadly, I don't think that will last long.

I would assign getting lettuce at any time of the year - any attempt to grow salad leaves or hostas results simply in providing a soup kitchen for slugs (since I try to garden organically and am rather fond of hedgepigs slug pellets are a no no.. and the eco friendly alternatives require a degree of vigilance I am not always able to maintain). I do have some roses still in the front garden which is rather fab - and I hope due to the sheltered south facing site rather than global warming.

The solution for slugs is to put out a saucer of beer! No joke! The slugs end up drinking themselves to death and don't bother your plants nearly as much.

I assign horrible weather, singing when no one's listening and filming silly scenes in a church.

I assign hard packed snow you can slide on without a sled. It rocks.
