I have been such a terrible blogger this winter, I know! But now that January has come my thoughts are turning to garden plannning again - every year at this time I start compulsively flipping through my gardening books, old magazines, and seed catalogues, and surfing the web, looking for inspiring ideas to use in my garden the coming season. I have big plans, as usual! I will tell you about them soon.
But right now, I am just enjoying the beautiful snow in the garden. To be honest, I'm disappointed it's all melting so soon as it looks so pretty and also helps insulate the soil! Here are a few shots of my Adventure Garden which I took last week-end before the kids toboganned over it...
Above: The view from the house. Perennials such as sedum, echinacea, liatris and perovskia keep things looking interesting despite the snow. You will notice the footprints throughout the garden - my kids enjoy exploring it even in winter!
Above: A side view from the garage. Feather reed grass stands tall all winter - the perfect "winter interest" plant!
Garden full of snow!! Wow,the Garden looks beautiful under it's frozen white blanket.January in the garden often means gardening vicariously through garden catalogs.
