Winterized

Here is where I stored all my movable plant containers for the winter. This half of the deck has a "roof" over it, aka the upper deck. You can see that some lavender is still living, even after some freezing nights.

Having cut off and thrown away the dead petunias in one of the 1/2-barrel planters, I see this marker again, which gets hidden as the vegetation grows profuse in the summer.

And, when the leaves are gone, you can see the intricate beauty of the contorted filbert.
