The season started out gently in Pennsylvania
Today ’s GPOD come from Kevin Kelly .
The first snow of the season descended gently in Harrisburg , Pa. , on December 9 . Here are a few photos of my garden to celebrate the event . I enjoy the first calendar month of wintertime because I get some needed rest from my garden chores . As many of you know from prior posts , my garden is on 4/10 acre in a suburban exploitation . I have 145 coniferous tree on the property . Most of them are slow maturate and easy to hold in a modest size of it . I also leave behind most of the perennials up for the wintertime , only pass out hostas ( ugh ) and the annual . Hope you delight .

Front of the house. The middle bed is the barest, as this is where I plant a large annual display each year.

Hydrangea quercifolia‘Little Honey’. Still in fall color, this hydrangea is golden yellow through the entire growing season.

Molina caeruleassp.arundinacea‘Skyracer’. This is an awesome “see-through” grass.

Isn’t sedum lovely in the winter?

Schizachyrium scoparium‘Standing Ovation’, one of my favorite grasses.
