Was I wishing for a proper period of dormancy in the garden? I'd better be more careful. The ground has been frozen for days, and there's nasty enough snow/ice today that my day classes are all canceled. That's not a whole lot in Seattle, home of about two snowplows total, but it's colder than my plants are used to. I'll probably lose all the overwintering garlics, and very likely the onions too. One can only hope the little snow peas live up to their name.

If things ever unfreeze, I bet the roses will be much easier to move...

Unless you have special tender onions and garlic, they'll die back to the root but revive in the spring, or at the first period of reasonably warm weather. I don't know about the snow peas; my belief is that the young shoots are very frost-tolerant but the larger plants, not so much.
