Put to Bed

I tucked my new blueberry plants into bed for the winter. Don't they look cozy in their blanket of pine shavings? I almost want to climb in and snuggle down for the winter with them.
Here are my garden beds with their black winter sheets. Don't they look sleek? I used to buy fancy garden cloth to cover them with. But a roll of black plastic from Home Depot does the same thing for a lot less $. The plastic keeps the cats out (they love it as a litter box), kills the weeds and helps the beds warm up quickly in the spring.

Let the Snow Begin!

I love it! The blueberries look very cozy. Cozy enough for the cats to move in...
