The biggest reason I’ve run into gardeners finding this to be controversial isn’t whether it is legal or not (in lots of places, it isn’t, so it could be removed at any time by the local municipality) but rather how healthy it is to be eating food so close to the road, bathed in things like exhaust. It may not be healthy to hang out near diesel fumes.

There are some very cool examples out there of pollinator gardens (flowers useful to local critters) and rain gardens in these tricky curbside areas. Pictured above is a rain garden. For anyone in the US, here’s a list of regional suggestions for pollinator gardens.

We do not normally get snow storms like the one we are currently having. The small garden is all tucked away and now covered in a blanket of fluffy snow. Snow storms like this make me so giddy! I love the snow, I even like the challenge of driving in it, just not the other people. There is just something thrilling about snow that gives me a perfect sensory experience. I figured I would document this rare event tonight, then possibly give an update in the morning. It is supposed to snow hard all night and all morning tomorrow. ❄️❄️❄️
