In the middle of Feb, we have had temps drop to 7, but Wed the high predicted is 72.

My garden is not like July, but just as interesting and nearly as beautiful.

Here are my ponds shot from my deck chair today. I know it ain't much, but "I" built it, and so it appeals to me more than drive-by people.

Off too my left and to my right it is Winter. Across the road it looks like a 'Winter Bomb' hit as this is Feb. (note the flowers on my Hellebore)

Not bragging, just taking a bow for the Winter Garden all around my home,
green and lots of Winter berries. Also lots of nice Winter colors as some plants look great in Winter as they go dormant. I like common broom straw.
After 10 years of work, my garden is interesting in all directions.

Now is the time to adjust your yard to Winter interest.
Go to the nursery now in your area and see what looks good there in FEB.
Then bring it home.

I pity people who just see Spring as a time to plant.
