WINTER FAIRYLAND

Winter fairyland



The Box edgeing helps to keep interest in a winter vegetable garden.


Frost and sun competing for interest.

Roses with winter ice dresses.





Swiss Chard looking rather attractive with it's silvery edges.

  3. Blogger just had a hiccup so if you get this comment twice I am sorry.
    I wanted to say oh, your poor roses but they do have a frosty beauty to them. It is just hard to see the flowers leaving.
    Have a wonderful week!

  5. It looks like the fairies were busy frosting your garden. You had so many roses still blooming. We never got to see our flowers frosted, just frozen in snow this year.

  6. Things look a bit frosty but alive. Not so for here.

  7. Strange how it is so much colder in your world than it is here. Frost does make for lovely photos . . . not that your gardens need any added features. Wonderful gardens. I love the third from the last photo! Oh, I love them all. Sweet helpers you have there! Thanks for sharing your fairyland gardens Joanne!

  8. I LOVE that frosty look! I had a chance to see this in my garden in Washington before moving south for the winter.

    I think I see a tiny Ice Fairy in the top picture! LOL

  11. So pretty... have I ever mentioned that whenever I'm in the "dreaming" mood I come here? I go to England! Ah yes, one of my favorite dreams ever is of a cottage somewhere in green England, in a little village....I love everything about England; especially their cottages and cottage gardens! ;)

  12. The frost that has descended on your garden makes your roses look like crystal flowers. Oh, how I wish some magic can transport me to you garden right now, if only for a few brief moments!
