Neighbours talking over the garden gate has long been a tradition. They share gardening tips, complain about the weather and pests yet are ever eager to discuss their gardens. That is what I had in mind when creating this blog. So stop by my garden gate to find out the latest happenings in my garden.

Happy Gardening!

Finally We Have Snow

Tundra Swan
February 22, 2010

We have had such a mild, precipitation winter this year that I have been extremely concerned as to what this will mean to our local farmers and home gardeners. Despite getting little more than a light flurry with no accumulation between November 2009 and January 2010, February gave a bit of home with now the second of two snow storms consisting of good accumulation. This is a good thing as we need the snow for spring runoff and proper moisture content for spring planting. I'm quite happy with this turn of events!

Happy Gardening!

    Yes, beautiful shot! My sister is in Ontario but I haven't heard her complaining about the lack of snow. I more usually hear about there being far too much, so I suppose I should have guessed.

    Thanks Sheila :) Some areas of Ontario have seen heavy snowfall mainly through the snow belt regions. Others have remained close to snow free. It's been a funny winter!
