Although we don't have two feet like out East, we did get a few inches of snow in the past couple of days. I'd love to have more, though. Yes, I'm one of those people who loves winter. I tend to be the one that shovels our 100 foot driveway and pleased as punch to do so. As a gardener, I like a good four inches or more. Enough snow to create a nice thick layer to insulate plants and moderate soil moisture and temperature. Of course the voles build tunnels, but so far they haven't been too much of a problem. Thank you, Mr. Fox!
Perhaps because I love snow, I usually leave the seeds and flowers of plants to dry. For me, snow is magic in the garden and transforms the somewhat dreary browns and greys into a winter wonderland.
Queen Anne's Lace just cups the snow.
PeeGee hydrangea looks just lovely
The neighbor's sedum dried much better than mine.
