Re: Garden Happiness
Your garden descriptions are beautiful. Here in USDA zone 3 Wasilla
Alaska our perennials have been put to the hardiness test already with the
freeze thaw cycles of winter...Yesterday our garden experience was to watch
a mother moose and her calf munch away at the birch trees. These animals
are huge, much longer legs than a cow. I felt lucky there is plenty of
birch and so far the beasts have left my lilacs and apples alone. After
living all my life with these animals they still leave me in awe. Karin
