January 2024 Garden

The weather in January was full of extremes. The garden was still holding onto green vegetation at the beginning of the month. We got snow, followed by a deep freeze, a quick ice over, and finally ending with unusually warm temperatures. Once it all melted, the green turned to mush.

Black Oak Trees

These deciduous beauties are the stars of January. Their intricate branching silhouettes against a dreary gray sky make you feel like you've woken into an Ansel Adams photograph.
