It is finally here. Even though a snowfall is nonexistent and unlikely, our weather has brought plant growth to a crawl. The sunrise seems so distant and silent. The few birds are also silent but they do come to the feeder.
This is the last post for 2023 but I did find some interesting photos for you.
Come join us tomorrow for our Six on Saturday group hosted by Jim Stephens. The link is here https://gardenruminations.co.uk.
The blueberry leaves are a beautiful red and standout in the landscape.
The brown eyed Susans are still putting out some blossoms.
The asparagus fern has tolerated the little frosts that we have had. They will brown up once the frosts are a little deeper but they are hardy.
The holly ferns are evergreen unless we get a very deep frost. Even after last years December deep freeze they were only a little brown at the tips.
The tassel ferns are also hardy and easily remain evergreen if there is just a few degrees of frost.
The Southern shield fern tolerates heat or shade and is still green. It is not as hardy as the other two here but it is far more spreading.
That’s it for 2023. Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
