Today’s photo, the last one of 2011 (Wow!), was taken by assistant editor Antonio Reis. Antonio says, “This is yet another whimsical feature at Sticks and Stones Farm in Newtown, Connecticut. I love how these snarling, curvy branches wend their way upwards and form this novel take on an arbor. The lichens growing on their sides also add a pretty verdigris effect. Think of this as a pictorial “goodbye!” to 2011 as we enter the new year and, soon enough, spring. In the meantime, let’s weather coming snowstorms by planning the garden ornaments we can make with the branches sure to be scattered by blustery winds.” Happy New Year, everyone!! See you next year.

Oh hey, make it your New Year’s resolution to send me photos of your gardens!!

    I had to try 14 times to register with your site. I'm all for fighting spam, but the difficulty of registering with you site has to be the most challenging ever for me.

    I am an avid Gardener. I trust I will find some new and helpful information on you web site.

    I will attempt to post some of my projects on your website.

    Thanks

    Hey Roho, it is a great site and I think that you will see it is well worth it. I recommend it to all of the gardeners I know. During the upcoming winter it will be a salvation for you because sometimes it seems like Spring will never come. Glad you made it, just another gardener!

    Looks like my wildflower meadow after brush hogging. I think those are all dead branches that were gathered and arranged... if it's like where I live any flowering vine planted would become deer salad.

    A Happy & Healthy New Year To All!

    Peace!

Thanks to all for your lively participation and especially thanks to Michelle for doing a FANTASTIC job! Peace and green success to all in 2012!
