The Year in Review

10/10/2017

Now that we are coming to the end of the gardening season here, I've been having fun going through pictures, and thought I would share some of them here! It's been a great year, although I didn't accomplish as much in the garden as I'd hoped. Nothing looks impossible when springtime comes if you've been buried under as much snow as we were this past winter, so I just bit off more than I could chew! Looking back through these pictures I can hardly believe how much snow we had!

But gardeners are always hopeful (or try to be)!

Spring came at last!

The first seedlings!

The first really warm day...but also the day our well-house flooded!

At last! 
Easter flowers...
Wait! What happened?!

Such brave and cheerful little flowers! 
Spring finally arrives in earnest...
A trip to Quebec...
Early summer...
A trip to NYBG...
Late summer...
Monticello...
Fall...
Whew! I had no idea what I was getting into when I started this post! I guess it's been a busy year! and it isn't finished yet...I still have most of the garden to clean up, and bulbs to plant before the snow starts flying again. But anyhow, there's my year in the garden! :)

A lovely round up of your gardening year! What a lot of snow you had! Hope this winter isn't quite as long and hard for you!

Thank you, Cathy! Last winter was the snowiest we've ever seen, although we do normally get a lot of snow. I'm hoping this winter will be a little easier, too!
