Final
The final patch of snow, bravely holding out against the warm weather of the past two weeks. Thanks to the eternal shade of the neighbour’s garage and being part of a huge pile of compacted snow it was able to survive until today. Tomorrow it will be gone.
The humongous piles of compacted snow did quite some damage to Alison’s dogwood shrubs. I can’t wait to see all the plants turn green and the many firns we planted last year to unroll their heads. Very soon it will be summer.

Do we have some sterile planting soil anywhere? Because I can propagate the dogwoods from the broken branches. More bushes!

Dogwoods in Montréal? Whaaaaat? I tell everyone that I planted a dogwood tree here in NJ in my front garden because it looked so beautiful and exotic to me! Now it’s 15 feet high and covered in pink blossoms!

Ina, your beautiful cornus florida rubra would not grow here in Montréal. But we can grow *other* dogwoods! Ours flower much more … subtly.
