The occasional caw of a crow, the chickadee-dee-dee of a chickadee, the big song of the little Carolina wren that now stays on our Pennsylvania farm all winter. But no courtship call of great horned owls, no wood thrush or Baltimore oriole. Still, I rejoiced in the music that remained.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">I just heard the first notes of our first returning songbird, though, a red-winged blackbird, and the snowdrops have begun to poke out of the ground.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The other day, I moved last fall\u2019s potted tulips and hyacinth from the unheated side of the barn to the warmth of the garden room to force their blooms. But the vegetable garden is an icy mud puddle and the flower beds, still mulched with shredded leaves, show little signs of life. Boxwood is covered in burlap and snow fence is draped around trees and shrubs to prevent deer from devouring them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Those deer, which have changed from the color of milk chocolate to dark, break through our makeshift deterrents anyway and eat the yew, euonymus, arborvitae, and this winter, even the holly. Squirrels race around adding to their larders, but the chipmunks are nowhere to be seen yet. They\u2019re in their dens I suppose, as are the opossum, raccoons and the bears, too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Once I longed for a greenhouse, but now I, too, wish to hibernate in winter, to take time off from sowing, potting and nurturing. To walk in snowy woods and observe animal tracks, study ice patterns on the pond, to be one with the season. I want to read by the fire and peruse garden catalogs, imagining what next year\u2019s garden will be like, expecting, as all gardeners do, that next year will be better than the last. As Vita Sackville-West wrote in her poem \u201cThe Garden:\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><em class=\"css-2fg4z9 e1gzwzxm0\">The gardener dreams his special own alloy<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><em class=\"css-2fg4z9 e1gzwzxm0\">Of possible and the impossible.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But what is possible anymore? As I reflect on last year\u2019s abysmal season, I wonder how I will adapt to the changes I witness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A year ago, winter was so warm that shrubs hardly died back and, last spring, dripped with foliage, a welcome sight but not normal. Spring was so hot I missed that lovely, cool, window for transplanting. I didn\u2019t know when to plant early season, cold-hardy vegetables, certainly not in 85 degrees, or when to set out tender plants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cAfter danger of frost,\u201d is common wisdom, but when is that now? My <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/planthardiness.ars.usda.gov\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Plant Hardiness Zone<\/a> shifted recently because the average coldest temperature in my area is now three degrees higher than it was in 2012. But even that new guidance didn\u2019t help me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mid-May felt like mid-June. Then, we had hail on May 29.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">I planted poppies in April anyway (they like cool weather) but the seeds were washed away by floods, which can now stretch here from April through October. Between June and November, we had a drought. The grass was brown. Dogwood and tulip poplar lost their leaves in July. My vegetable garden resembled a cracked riverbed, the soil so hard that weeding was nearly impossible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Streams ran dry, so for the first time in 36 years I saw deer wade into the pond to drink. Little food was available for them, so they sauntered up to our garage and ate the deer-resistant lavender. On my walks in the forest, I was struck by that lack of undergrowth, particularly a huge patch of Canadian Wood Nettle, a North America native that is a host plant for Red Admiral and Eastern Comma butterflies. Chanterelles never fruited in their usual spots. I worried that our spring would run dry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Pennsylvania saw record wildfires in fall. Two lilacs, which normally appear in spring, bloomed in October, and in late November I was still harvesting what little I did manage to grow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">All this reminds me of a radio program called \u201cPiano Puzzler\u201d that my husband and I listen to on Saturday mornings. The composer Bruce Adolphe rewrites a familiar tune in the style of a classical composer. He changes the tune\u2019s tempo, harmony or mode and contestants try to name the tune and composer. Imagine \u201cHey Jude\u201d in the style of Brahms. Somewhere in my brain the tune sounds familiar, yet something is off, the music is disorienting. Occasionally, I guess correctly. Often, not.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Gardening in climate change is the same: confusing, with a lot of guessing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">What\u2019s a home gardener to do?<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe only predictable thing is that it is going to be unpredictable.\u201d said Sonja Skelly, director of education at Cornell Botanic Gardens in Ithaca, N.Y. \u201cIt\u2019s been crazy up here, too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Last spring was hot in Ithaca as well, so the vegetable gardener started planting two weeks before the May 31 frost-free date. Then came extreme temperature fluctuations, but the plants set out earlier did better because they got established. Those planted on the target date were stunted and had a poor growing season. \u201cA good lesson,\u201d Dr. Skelly said. Row covers, which allow gardeners to get plants in earlier and grow them later in the season, are \u201cgoing to be really important in climates like ours,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Cover crops like millet, sorghum, and black-eyed peas have been successful at the botanic gardens. They improve water retention, decrease weeds, reduce erosion and limit negative microorganisms in soil. The birds love them, Dr. Skelly said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">She recommended planting together what the Haudenosaunee people call the three sisters: corn, beans and squash. This system produces a better per-hectare yield than any monoculture cropping system, she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Drip irrigation is another solution, Dr. Skelly said. \u201cIt adds moisture where it\u2019s needed, at the roots,\u201d she said. Water is released slowly, stays put, and doesn\u2019t run off like hand watering or using sprinklers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cObserve, take notes, ask questions, seek out answers,\u201d Dr. Skelly advised. \u201cWhat are the neighbors seeing?\u201d Learn by going to local botanic gardens, public gardens and nature centers, which have been working on this problem for a while now. \u201cKeep the cycle of information flowing, talking with friends and family and neighbors as a way to help us figure it out. That\u2019s so important,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Skelly believes it\u2019s crucial for home gardeners to really understand their plants. \u201cMaybe climate change will be the way to know our gardens far better,\u201d she said. \u201cWe have to.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">I\u2019ve long depended on experts to teach me how to garden responsibly. To help, not harm, the environment. I plant a diverse range of plants, including natives for pollinators, and have learned to celebrate native weeds like fleabane. I practice companion planting. I don\u2019t spray pesticides or insecticides and, instead of synthetic fertilizers, use compost or make my own out of comfrey or stinging nettle. I wish I could buy plants in something other than plastic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But the more I ponder gardening in the time of climate change, the more I believe we home gardeners are going to have to figure out many solutions for ourselves. So much of gardening is trial and error and erratic weather patterns mean we\u2019ll have to experiment even more, to do our own studies. In essence, we must become citizen-scientists of our own vegetable patches and flower beds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Cornell Botanic Gardens has a climate change demonstration garden, but, really, we all do. None of us has been through this before. And in the end, we\u2019re all in this together, navigating a strange new world of digging in soil and growing things, each trying as we might to contribute to a new way of gardening in a changing world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-9\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Daryln Brewer Hoffstot\u2019s collection of essays, \u201cA Farm Life: Observations From Fields and Forests,\u201d was published by Stackpole Books.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/28\/climate\/gardening-climate-change.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The silent season is drawing to a close.
