The tree has been vanquished!!!!!

I do love the snow in the garden; it can make even the most boring garden very pretty. The shapes that are formed, the layers that cover the benches, the trees, the ground and the fences. However, snow and preparing the garden for my vegatable year does not go hand in hand. Never the less, I braved the sub zero temperatures today and the snow to try and make some more progress in the garden, and in particular the huge tree that covered my raised beds at the back of the garden. I have been steadily chopping the tree back over the last several months; but today, once and for all, it was vanquished. I also managed to clear some of the rasied beds as well. Here are the pictures before.

And here are the pictures afterwards

So pleased with my work and the tree has finally been vanquished.
Things are coming along nicely.My two heated propagtors arrived yesterday, and most of my seeds have arrived now as well. I am just awaiting my lean-2-greenhouse and then I am ready to rock n roll. The next step once the snow has cleared is to put up some willow screening, which I have bought, along the back fence. Then I need to build the raised beds and hopefully I can grow some vegatables.

Wish me good luck!!!
