As others have said that red dogwood against the snow is stunning but one dune back from Lake Michigan, within city limits, there are roving bands of deer...lots of them. Do deer eat your dogwood?Wabasis Tracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15130301337158514438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608010804192268779.post-53833553191371713882021-03-08T03:15:51.829-05:002021-03-08T03:15:51.829-05:00The snow does look beautiful but it can just last ...The snow does look beautiful but it can just last too long when you want to be getting on with the garden. I hope that March warms up a bit for you so that you're able to get on with your seed sowing.

Hopefully by next week you'll see some progress! <br />I would guess that here in the valley about half the garden is snow-free. Lets hope it stays that way...<br />I love that gloriously blue sky!bittsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547598484469324272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608010804192268779.post-83906484105102606342021-03-03T14:56:43.385-05:002021-03-03T14:56:43.385-05:00Hi Pamela, Hope your spring bulbs will soon appear...Hi Pamela, Hope your spring bulbs will soon appear and the heavy snow hasn't caused too much damage. Your seed sowing plan looks fantastic. I like your special holder for them too! Thank you for taking part in Through the Garden Gate again.

The snow stayed all that time, which isn’t quite normal for us. But I was grateful that it protected my plants during the cold. Our vegetable garden planning isn’t quite so detailed as yours, but ours is smaller. I do make a sketch to tell me where everything goes.

It looks much the same as mine, higher up on the Pocono plateau. My plans for this season include rhubarb, a bean teepee, and converting a small area of lawn into a no-mow area. I've been watching the birds and just by luck, saw a few wild turkeys. Maybe turkeys made those tracks in your yard.Joan L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01670637009393108470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608010804192268779.post-62033181341678347152021-02-25T14:58:36.308-05:002021-02-25T14:58:36.308-05:00It looks like you've been busy my gardening fr...It looks like you've been busy my gardening friend. Your winter views of the potting shed, gardens and wildlife are beautiful and I love following along with the planning of your kitchen garden. I love the photo of Doodles, Bilbo, and Taz too!

Such accumulation certainly puts our two to three inches in the shade, although those two to three inches brought everything to a halt here.<br /><br />My winter bird watching has been brightened by Purple Finches. We've had an irruption of the birds to this area where we generally either don't see them or see only a few during winter. They've visited my feeders by the dozens this winter.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608010804192268779.post-32693944631931003212021-02-25T11:13:26.990-05:002021-02-25T11:13:26.990-05:00Your photos are beautiful.

One of my favourite times is seeing the plants just barely pushing their way up -- a sign that the worst of the cold, snowy months is over.
