Yep, it's even worse than cleaning up dog waste - getting the heavy spring snow off the fruit and broad leaf trees/bushes.

It's cold, you may have to do it several times in a day, if you're not careful, you can knock the blossoms off (lost a few on the Nanking) and I can't reach the top most branches anyway, so it may be futile.

We are at 5 inches and still coming down. Need more of your lovely spring flower pics!!

You poor thing. Colorado has got to be a tough place to grow things... Well, Eastern US things...

That's what makes it fun, I guess. Everyone tells my organic buddy and I that you simply can't have a flowering landscape up here and vegetables are impossible without a greenhouse. We laugh, loudly, because humans, who are native to the Oldavai Gorge region of Africa, can survive just about anywhere. And we take our tomatoes along for the ride.

Here I was expecting "weeding." Good luck, that really stinks.


Ambitious gardener, gamer and target shooter. A student, now of academe and for life of nature. Good luck growing to all!
