Home Again - Hello Roses

'Crown Princess Margarita' I'm back home after a three week garden tour of the Cornwall region of England. It was phenomenal and I'll be sharing photos from the trip later. I got back home to an explosion of growth and bloom in our garden. I was grateful that we received some rain and so was Michael, who didn't have to do a great deal of watering. This is my favorite time of year when the garden bursts into bloom and everything is fresh and unblemished. The roses are especially a treat right now.  'Cornelia' 'Lady Emma Hamitlon' 'Lamarque' 'Marchesa Boccella' 'Mutabilis' 'Playboy' 'Purple Pavement' 'Radway Sunrise' 'Darcey Bussell' 'Golden Celebration' 'The Impressionist' 'Lady of Shallot' 'Buff Beauty' 'Julia Child' & 'The Impressionist' 'Sunny Eleganza' 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles' Text and photos by Phillip Oliver, Dirt T...

Valentine's Day Snow



We woke up to around 4 inches of snow today. We already had a dusting from yesterday. If I am not mistaken, we've had at least one big snowfall every winter since we've lived here. They usually occur in January or February but sometimes as late as April.

Here are the obligatory photos.

  1. Bird houses and snow look particularly good together.
    What's the variegated climber - or shrub in the last photo?

  2. Gardens blanketed in snow always look magical to me but then it's something I've seldom seen in person. Coastal Southern California is lucky just to get a bit of rain.

  3. Snow looks good in your garden. Let's face it. Anything and anyone would look good in your garden. Have a good weekend.

  4. It is beautiful, and I'm glad not as harsh as last year's ice storm!

  5. It appears you didn't have any damage from the snow. Your garden looks beautiful dressed in white.
