Following my Own Advice

Horrors! I found snow mold (see previous post) on my own lawn yesterday! As the big snow drifts in my backyard are finally melting away, I’m beginning to search for any signs of shrub damage or other problems incurred by the long period of snow cover that we’ve experienced here in Denver this winter. So far, so good: no broken branches on any of my shrubs. But that snow mold---ick! I grabbed my rake and gave the lawn a quick fluff-up. It felt great to be working in the garden on a warm (63F) winter afternoon!
