It has been warm and spring-like for at least a couple of weeks here. Our friends down the hill are already thinking about gardening. Their garden has been bare of snow for a while already, and there are signs of crocuses, garlic and green grass at their place. I figured I'd head out to our garden and see if I could brush the last little bit of snow off the raised beds and look for signs of life.Fat luck. That 'last little bit of snow' is still two feet deep -- and wet and dense. What a difference a couple hundred metres of elevation makes.
I did shovel the beginnings of a path to the lower beds, figuring I might be able to bring a few wheelbarrows of chicken manure in before too long. But who am I kidding? We need some serious melting first. It feels like spring, but we're not really there yet.
That photo looks like the dead of winter to me LOL
