The winter garden


With all this very cold weather it has been very difficult to get any work done in the garden. The soil has been too frozen to work and I have spent a lot of time wrapping up my more delicate plants in fleece. It has however given me time to get the greenhouse in order, wash pots and order seeds for the new growing season.


The garden has looked quite beautiful with the frost on the trees and grasses. I'm glad I did not cut down all the seed heads and grasses. These acer leaves looked very attractive edged with frost.

Don't forget to feed the birds in this cold weather. They will reward you by eating all your insect pests come the summer.
