Darn! I write about how it’s been snowing on and off each morning for the past few days and guess what? It snowed a tiny bit yesterday evening and I guess it snowed a tiny bit in the night and unfortunately it’s been cool enough all day for the snow to stay on the ground.
It’s been melting away quickly before this … but now it’s staying. Boo Hoo.
I’ve had roses continue to bloom through the month of November.
Don’t get me wrong, it hasn’t been warm here, although we have had a few nice warm days here and there. Nope it’s just my crazy roses don’t know when to shut themselves off, and before you ask the last time I deadheaded any of them was the beginning of August so they’ve had plenty of time to get the message and shut down for winter.
Finally those lovely miraculous blooms are drooping. I thought I might continue to look out the window and be amazed at the perfect flowers for a while yet, but I guess last nights snow and cool temps finally got to them.
I live in upstate NY and this has been a strange weather winter. Near Christmas and through mid January, my early spring bulbs like tulips thought 40 degrees was time to start peeking through the soil! We now have below zero weather and several feet of snow. I really have no idea at all what my gardens will look like this year!
