Since I only get to see my garden in the light on weekends now that the days are so short, I venture out each Saturday to see what's been going on out there. On this particular Saturday, everything was frozen having been ravaged by our cold snap. I wonder if the banana's pseudo stems will survive or if these will have to start again from the roots this spring? So sad to see them looking like this.
Dichroa febrifuga or Blue Evergreen Hydrangea isn't looking like it'll be evergreen this year. Hardy to 20-25 degrees, it'll be lucky to be alive. Oh well, plant shopping is lots of fun, right?
The persimmons, all three of them, are now orange and looking lovely against the evergreen foliage behind them. Some year, this tree may surprise us and put on a big show.
The fish do not seem amused in the least that their pond is half frozen over. Usually they huddle in the deepest part of the pond in cold weather to take advantage of the warmest water there. Maybe the sun warmed the top part of the water a little so they're congregating there. We'll all be happy to see our normal 40 degree days return!
This water bowl appears to be frozen solid. The dome of ice is interesting but we've had enough of this silly cold business!
I hope you and your garden are doing well. By the time this post appears, our temperatures should have warmed up considerably. Spring is only three months away!
