"Notwithstanding our disasters born of unseasnable frost and wet, sunless skies,I console myself with the reflection that on the whole we have made good progress. The garden is in better order than it was....last year" H. Rider Haggard A Gardener's Year
My Silverado Garden survived the winter storm of late December 2010. The creek rose.....10 feet perhaps.....bolders roared......past the house and garden. New Year's day brought 30 degree weather and frost. All in all, only some damage to tips of salvia waverlies, and this wonderful view of a sycamore leaf incased in ice in the frozen birdbath.
