Don’t be to concerned about your garden and the predictions for snow. We’ve had good moisture before the snow so the ground is wet, but not soggy. If it snows enough to cover plants, the snow will act like a blanket to protect plants from the wind. If it doesn’t cover plants and the wind comes up we have worries. Then, throw an old blanket over your favorites, or those in direct east winds. The other thing to remember is don’t bury planting beds in more snow when clearing the driveway and walkways. The weight may crush shrubs. Lawns can take a beating with kids playing, but their fun outways the week or so of extra care in spring. So, sit back and enjoy or get outside and play.
Enjoy your seed catalogs and hot chocolates.
