It’s been a particularly snowy winter in Maine. Skiers and snowmobilers have been ecstatic with the accumulation of the white stuff… but gardeners only measure how much snow has to melt before we see the ground.
On the positive side:
Snow can make a plain little table into a piece of art!
Birds like snow art too!
Snow insulates the soil, buffers the extremes in temperature and protects all my dormant plants.
Snow gives you a different perspective on your garden.
I’ll have to be content to look outside through these windows…
..with my houseplants, patiently awaiting Spring.
