Eeeurgh. A couple of weeks ago I ordered some plants for the garden: fifty mixed native hedging whips, a red berberis, a black bamboo, and a whitebeam tree. All of them except the tree arrived last week during the cold … Continued

Snowdrops

Viburnum

by JDO | posted in: Flowers and plants, My garden, Worcestershire | 0

Wall screw-moss

This morning dawned bright and sunny, but cold and frosty, with a little of yesterday’s snow still present and glistening enticingly. R and I had tickets for an early walk at Charlecote, but having been caught out on New Year’s … Continued

Snowy morning

by JDO | posted in: Flowers and plants, My garden, Weather, Worcestershire | 0

We had a light fall of snow overnight, but it was so warm this morning that it melted very quickly. I did manage to find a few spots that were still icy when I went out with the macro at … Continued
