THE GARDEN IN FEBRUARY

This winter in Pittsburgh sure has been a snowy one. With some warmer days in the forecast for the end of February, I was able to snag a few last pictures of the frosty garden. I also have been able to enjoy the winter interest plants that I have added to the garden in the last couple of years. Our young Dogwood tree is covered in frost, as well as our Arborvitae, and Sedum seed heads are beautifully hanging on to some snow since they weren’t cut back in the fall (for this very reason!)

#Pittsburgh has recorded at least 4" of snow on the ground for 20 straight days (including today), which is the 9th longest stretch on record. In 2010, at 4" of snow depth was recorded for 33 consecutive days. The record is 54 straight days in 1978. #pawx #snow.
