Frankly, I don't think I could take it all year round. I like knowing I get a break. Plus, having designed our garden to look good in winter, it is nice to be able to enjoy those views and know that no watering or pruning or other jobs are required to make it look good — just a little snow.LINDA from Each Little Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02380944603357066650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12157091.post-33491125005307198192009-11-03T05:29:49.708-08:002009-11-03T05:29:49.708-08:00Forty+ pots of hyacinths?

I guess it's my own fault (the zonal denial thing) but winter for me means how cold is it going to be tonight and how much rain (too much!) are we getting? I watch so I know what plants I have to protect.

I dread the ice storms and what the do to trees, but welcome snow cover as a preventative to frost heave. What I dread is the darkness.

We have tons of Norway maples on our street too, one huge on in front of my house- leaves are hanging on for dear life. It is always the last one to give up its leaves, and they are still green. Lots of raking in future. <br /><br />I can also relate to that spring raking. Or when the snow falls before you get the last batch of leaves. Particularly annoying when you are trying to shovel snow, and your shovel keeps hitting that wad of frozen leaves!Sarah from Toronto Gardenshttp://torontogardens.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12157091.post-6205581552939522212009-10-31T19:02:01.600-07:002009-10-31T19:02:01.600-07:00You grow, girl!
