The trials and tribulations of gardening in northern Alberta.

Gone but not forgotten.
I love tea roses, however they are very hard to grow and keep alive in this area. If we have good snow cover for insulation and a mild spring after the snow melts, there is a good chance they will survive. This spring 2009, after the snow melted we had a bitterly cold few days, these roses were showing signs of life but now seem to have lost the battle. Therefore I shall remember them in pictures (I really wish they could invent smellaputer - some of these were heavenly!

I'm a farmer/cattle rancher in northeasten Alberta. My hubby and I have 4 cats, a dog (my best buddy) and an African Grey Parrot (who hates me). I would rather be outside than inside even in the winter. I have 6 bird feeders around the garden and love having my morning coffee with the birds.
I enjoy wandering through and photograhing graveyards and hunting down my ancestors - no matter how illusive you are I WILL find you.
