It’s going to snow all weekend?

This weeks theme is Heavy

IMG_3199

We’ve had a lot of snow here in Toronto this week. I think we ended up getting close to 20 inches of snow. This is on top of all the snow we got the Friday before!

As you can see the snow was so heavy that it caused one of my plant stands to topple over in the garden.

Normally I take the planters off the plant stand in the late fall, but I didn’t this year and this will serve as a good reminder as to why I should always take the planters down in the autumn. Look at that. The pole was anchored in the ground yet it still fell over!

We’re going to have more snow today and tomorrow and then again on Tuesday! I have no idea where we’ll put all the snow. My front lawn is tiny. It’s only about 10 feet long by 7 or 8 feet wide and the snow pile on the lawn is already as high as the car!

I think my back will break if I’ve got to shovel more snow … especially if I have to throw it five or six feet to get it on top of the pile on the lawn.

Please visit two of my other blogs that are participating in the Photo Hunt – We’ve had a lot of snow this week here in Toronto and if you want to see just how much please visit My World. You can also see what my puppy finds heavy over at Tricia’s Musings.

The Iceberg

by Tricia

Wordless Wednesday

icebergrose

This lovely rose is an Iceberg.

It’s a hardy shrub that, in this area, seems to only grow to about four feet tall by 3 feet wide.

It blooms several times each season. Each time there are multiple flowers that each last for a few days.

Iceberg doesn’t have much scent. Not for me anyway …. but it’s a lovely rose.

A lovely Polyantha rose – The Fairy

This rose is The Fairy. It’s a Polyantha rose.

This lovely rose grows to the size of about two feet and spreads approximately three to four feet. It blooms profusely several times each season with clusters of bead-like buds that open into globular pink flowers. It’s foliage is a nice deep shade of green and the plant is fairly resistant to most diseases.

The Fairy is also a hardy rose. Thriving in zones 4 to 9.

I barely ever have to do any special care for this rose. Each spring I might prune out a few of the branches that have died off, or thin the branches but that’s pretty much it. It’s very low care.

Does anyone else grow The Fairy?
