The shortest day of the year (aka the winter solstice) is now behind us, but with plenty of cool days to go it's likely those chilly temperatures are settling around your garden. This is by no means a bad thing. The cold is needed to provide "chill hours" for flowering and fruiting trees so that they can put on their awesome spring displays and set fruit.
