Okay – try living in Pittsburgh right now. We are well and truly in mud season, that time when you really see all the stuff in the garden that you should have cleaned up in the fall, but it was mud season then, too, right before it froze solid. Bleah. I’m not sure if I envy the snow of 5 hours North or the dry of Texas! ah well, thank goodness for the garden catalogs…
This is a winter picture (without the mud) from the ‘Burgh – Buddleia davidii “black knight” with a coating of sugar snow. At this point in the winter, Jeff calls any snow Satan’s powdered sugar. Better than mud, though.
In a month or so it should be dry enough to get the clean up done and I’ll need to cut this particular friend back hard. At least I am not behind on this. Yet!
