A New Year

I did not write a post since October, because winter came quite suddenly and early this year, and not much happened in the garden in the last months. We had our first snow when the leaves were still on the trees



as well as spectacular autumn colours, probably as a result of the frosty nights.


December was very cold, dipping down to -6C on some nights, and staying bellow freezing during the day as well on some days. Not really gardening weather. The frequent frost did lend itself to some beautiful photographs.

I can count on one hand the number of days when we could actually work outside, and we used those to setup the frame for the new deck in Vi's garden. I will post some images on our progress in my next post. Meanwhile I wish you all a happy new year, cross your fingers for a real summer in 2009.
