Gardening In The Snow

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQu4SRaIR6o&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1]MY FRIEND RANDY HINZ, who comments here as “Randy J,” suggested the title for today’s post. It’s an accurate title, too. For I went out with my tiny “Flip” camcorder this morning, intending to produce a video-tour of the rose garden. While wandering the (buried) blue-stone walk, however, I discovered much work to be done. Watch me slip, slide, and almost fall a few times while attempting to maneuver in 12 inches of snow.

Did it snow where you are, too?

    Kevin,
    I like how the fountains look like large wedding cakes! Thanks for the video.
    You should lash up those Arbs before the next snow tomorrow. Of course navigating a step ladder in the snow will not be fun or easy.

    Eric – indeed!

    Randy – Lash up the arbs? On a step-ladder? In one foot of snow? I. Don't. Think. So. But I'm happy to film YOU doing it!

    Wow! Looks like my yard a few weeks ago. Be careful out there, Kevin!

    Although the snow is beatiful, Im really looking foward to a Green Spring! I too can't see any of my mini greenhoues! so much snow….

    Janis – Thanks, I will be careful. The snow is “Beagle High” meaning my poor Lily can't walk in it! Thus, she hops!

    Erin – Because the next 7 days are supposed to be above freezing, I suspect this snow will melt rapidly (unless we get slammed again). In March our winter-sown seeds should start to germinate! Can't wait!

    I hope you'll consider making a video of your garden when the bulbs are in bloom!

    Adele – yes, some pleasant spring morning, and while the birds are singing, I'll head out again with my little video gadget. Maybe I'll get the “hang” of filming by then!
