The snow piles along the driveway at the farm have been pushed back onto the gardens. The plow guys move the snow away from the drive so that high winds can't form easy drifts across a narrow drive. There has been a lot of snow at Graywood Farm this winter. In the upper left of this photo are the cherry trees. Snow has almost completely buried their trunks.
The line of thin stakes, barely visible in front of the cherry trees, is where the raspberry patches are slumbering. Further back and totally buried is the strawberry bed. We planted it last April and it brought lots of sweet berries last fall.
The garden will be a wet mess for a long time this spring. This much snow will take its time in draining into the ground, out to the field tiles and down to the Pigeon River.
