The last of the flowers bloomed through late fall.
A pleasant surprise was to see the Russian Tea plant flowering in the cooler late fall weather.
We kept squirrel-busy cutting and storing firewood a few steps away from the fireplace.
The off-cut, untreated, paint-free construction wood had been cut to fit the fire box. We stacked it in a satisfying pile under the propagation table. With plenty of firewood, we looked forward to the cold weather and sitting in front of a fire.
This winter we had a number of significant snowfalls, something that doesn't happen every year.
The cherry tree while still in full leaf and under the Douglas-fir canopy was sheltered from an early snowfall.
The exposed young medlar tree couldn't cope with the wet snow weight. It and the other fruit trees had to be staked.
We took several trips out to Vancouver Island's west coast to enjoy the wild weather.
And now the soil is stirring and the new growth has started.
It feels like it has been a short winter and the garden is enticing me outside more often these days.
