Winter shapes a garden like no other season.
Winter is why I don’t grow camellias, and why I grow lilacs.
Winter is why I plant tulips and daffodils, hyacinths and snowdrops.
I don’t think about whether or not a plant will live through spring, summer, or fall in my garden.
I wonder if it will survive through winter.
Winter shapes a garden like no other season.

Oh so true, Carol. I just blogged about how the day before yesterday, I was despondent about my garden. Today my hope has been revived. What a difference a day makes in the winter.
Well winter is certainly shaping my garden this year. Or will I forget this and once again try to shape it myself.
