Day Moon-Crow Moon

See Previous | See Next We have come to the time of year when it really depends what part of the garden you live in. We have also come to the season of the Holidays, which are so busy, and so seem like as good a time as any for me to say that, going forward, I’m switching over from low-key weekly garden posts to very low-key garden posts, i.e., just the pictures.  Some weeks I write less than 100…

See Previous | See Next Well, snow was predicted, and so it has come.  It is, of course, working on melting again, but things have been wintery enough this week to keep it sticking around for a little bit at least, not that all of the roses have yet 100% gotten the memo. Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years, the season does seem to be mostly one degree of snowiness or another. Looking back 2-4 weeks and 2-4 years…

See Previous | See Next This week everything has been poised, hovering between sunshine and frost. Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years, things do look perhaps a bit sunnier right now than the average, with the last couple years predicting that more snow will be arriving soon. Looking back 2-4 weeks and 2-4 years admits a little bit more companionable color, but still agrees about chill and snow ahead. …This week my garden is flirting with the sunshine.

Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years, is a definite mix of bright fall colors and the winter browns plus real snow coming into things. Looking back 2-4 weeks and 2-4 years makes it look like the bright fall colors are holding out a little longer this year than in some years past—we’ll…

See Previous | See Next Well, the snow arrived! and, for a little while (and several days) draped itself all over everywhere. Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years, one notes that this was a little bit late for a Colorado first snow of the season.  (But also that red fall foliage is very pretty.) Looking back 2-4 weeks and 2-4 years jumps in to add that snow doesn’t necessarily mean no new flowers…not necessarily (I would be surprised…) …This…

See Previous | See Next This week we’ve gotten some real fall weather, including a frost! (briefly)  We’re definitely in full autumn-mode now. Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years, one-up’s the frost with actual snow, which is something I haven’t quite seen in my garden yet this year.  But otherwise, there seems to be agreement that this is the time for some flashy fall foliage. Looking back 2-4 weeks and 2-4 years concurs on the foliage (with also some…
