More snow....this time it's proper snow !
Proper snow to trudge through .
The veg garden .
The Leek and Celery seed trays with the windscreen foil thing to reflect the light....will put some newspaper over these tonight .
The greenhouse looks fine and I lit some more 8 hour candles in the lantern ...and will repeat this later on this evening . The Cacti are all covered with fleece and sheets of newspaper .
I am so grateful to my friend Jessica who gave me a roll of fleece , enabling me to wrap up a few more precious plants .

I must plant more hedging along that side of the veg garden to give more protection from the wind ...and shelter for the wild birds to nest in too .
Tetrapanax Papyrifera "Rex" .
The Labyrinth .
Looking through the window ...skid marks in the snow , where not one , but several cars have all got stuck this morning , and slid towards the Cornish hedge on one side of the lane coming down and then towards the ditch at the side of the lane coming up . Mercifully no one came through our cottage wall !
The sun made a brief and beautiful appearance , but those clouds are now bringing more snow and the wind is much stronger than this morning .
The weather reports have been quite hard to follow , but there is another storm coming up from the South which when it hits the cold air is going to bring blizzards tonight/tomorrow . Storm Emma . We took the dog for a short walk up the lane and had a chat with our good neighbour Michael ...who is also a keen photographer and veg gardener ...especially onions....in fact his garden is packed full of wonderful things which never fail to delight as we walk past .
Well it is snowing heavily again and I must go and put another log on the fire .
Cheerio for now ! Debbie :) x
Much the same weather here, sunny but all white!
ReplyDeleteAs much as I love the snow, I am not sure if I'll be able to deal with it for many days together. We've been dealing with Europe snowstorm effect here - the days have been really cold but has not snowed. I am currently mourning the passing away of my Indian plant called table rose - it just couldn't handle European winter.Perhaps a fleece covering could've saved it. I had no idea about this trick.
ReplyDeleteHello Deepa , Oh..so sorry you lost your Indian table rose ! You must get another when the weather improves :)
DeleteThe snow became blizzard and became knee deep in places .I had wanted to make a snowman but every time I went outside I got a very sore throat and began to cough , so it was best to stay indoors sitting beside the fire .We had severe gales last night and rain , so the snow is now melting and the primroses and daffodils are all coming back just fine :) Nice to hear from you again :) x
