What's happening in your garden today?

My mate used to tell me I should come when he played golf, "It's a really pleasant walk, Olly".
Not the way they play it North of Watford, the ice tundra has flooded.

Bet you notice the difference, I have tried wood of various sorts from sticks to logs. I think it is mainly the constancy of the moisture it promotes, but it all seems to help. Avoid sticks from pruning that are too fresh, you can find they start sprouting, I put them in the compost for six months, then lift them out with a fork and use as a layer between the wood and compost.

I did this same thing, Hugel kulture, when I set the beds up two years ago and when I moved them, all that was there was soil. It doesn't take long, evidently, for burried wood to break down.

Took some cuttings off Geraniums and Thanksgiving Cactus.

Watered everything that needed it.

Switched Fans the ones I had would just blow you away. I Switched to the ones I used last Winter just push the air.

No gardening today, after the "severe weather" warning given by the BBC for all areas last night.


Well, it wasn't quite that.

I often refer to our location as "The Tropic of Trafford," as the weather is mostly mild, we are protected by hills on three sides.

So this is what we got last night.


An inch and a half of snow.






The sky is overcast, but the air is still and the temperature is slightly above freezing.

Already the snow is starting to melt.

Nothing today it's been snowing.

Nothing today it's been snowing.

Sleeping here but the Lord blessed us with some rain water for my plants.
