Had a huge snowstorm here last week – 12.5 inches. It was really beautiful while it was coming down – set all kinds of records! But the damage it did to our trees is something else.
This magnolia tree is going to have to removed. The weight of the snow toppled most of the branches. Same with our live oak and yaupon hollies in the front although the damage wasn’t quite as bad on them. Last year at this time I already had my spring garden in the ground. Seems like this year I am spending my time doing damage control. We have had a wet cold winter and there is more to come.
That hasn’t kept me from buying seed packets, however and deciding which type of tomatoes I am going to buy this year or what relish or jelly I am going to enter in the state fair. Thinking green tomato relish?

Sorry to see so much damage. I didn’t think Live Oaks were susceptible. See you soon!
