Spring or still Winter?

Winter still has not given up at Snowshoe Inn.  Last week we had weather in the 60's today the high was 31 degrees F.  Saturday Fred Meyer had there cutting sale for geraniums and fuchsias.  I picked up about 40 plants.  Had to quickly move them from car to greenhouse.  We continue to harvest greens sown in August from cold frame and cold greenhouse. 

 As I post this it continues to snow.  Nearly 7 pm and about one inch of snow on the lawn areas.

 Snow drops are still hanging in.  They have been up quite a while.  It has taken them several years to become this vigorous.  I am excited that they are doing so well in our climate.
 

 Cold frames earlier in day, no snow yet.  I harvested spinach, lettuce and other greens from them for tonight's dinner.  Fresh and crisp when it was 29 degrees at the time they were harvested.
 Here is the lettuce and other greens before harvesting them tonight.  Plenty of greens to keep us going until I sow more when the real spring arrives.

 This is garlic planted last September.  I can not believe how much they have grown this winter/spring.

 This is a gooseberry Joshua sent me for my birthday last fall.  The buds started to swell several weeks ago and now leaves are beginning to emerge.  I hope they can handle the cool weather to come this spring.

Some of the crocus planted in a grassy area west of the cabin.  It is interesting to see them flower.  The flowers move across the grassy area each week as things warm up.  Last season they were actually came up through the snow.
