First snow of the winter

We have probably 15 inches of snow at our house now, as a result of two storms last weekend. Here are some shots:

In just a few months, this area will be filled with tulips, hyacinths and daffodils!

And soon spring crops will be growing here, spinach, lettuce, etc.

Raised beds and cages

This will be home to tomatoes, zucchini, etc.

The raised beds and trellis

Next year we'll see daffodils, hyacinths, day lilies, yarrow, creeping phlox and hydrangeas here:

Perennial bed 3

And come summer we'll have pots of basil, rosemary, oregano and thyme here along with hanging baskets overflowing with bright, sun-loving flowers!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! See you in 2009!
