The snow we received a couple weeks ago is all gone now.
But boy did we get a healthy dose of it!
The temperatures are back to mildish-
high 40's in the day hours, just about freezing at night.
I am overjoyed to report that the garden was none the worse for wear.
In fact, we have had some unseasonably wonderful days,
and I perchance had my camera handy.
Here I have some before and after shots to share.

| L to R Chard, by fence Bok Choy, behind stick on left Beets, in the mound on left center, Leeks, just right of center in back. You are brilliant if you figured that out. Here they are the other day when the sun was shining: |

Like I said, "None the worse for wear."
This is the Vegetable garden under a blanket.
On the left is my "cloche" which folded under the weight of the snow.
The mess in the middle are tomato cages I left for the chickens to clean up.
 |
| Under the snow and plastic, I had planted garlic, spinach and various other winter veggies I can't remember right now because I'm terrible at writing it down. I figure by the time I need to weed, I'll be able to tell what it is. |
 |
| Garlic starting to peek! |
 |
| Spinach! The early spinach is always the BEST! |
 |
| My parsley also survived. |
 |
| And the English Daisies are already sprouting. They made wonderful volunteers last spring. |
 |
| Look what else I found. Can you guess?? Crocus. Already! |
She's no worse for the wear either.
And everyone is looking forward to spring.
