Ha ha!!!

Lovely to see your Hellebores, Rose! :)

It's been a rather cloudy day today & we have had a little rain this evening. But it's very cold with only a couple of degrees above freezing all day.

Rose, I always thought mirrors on garden walls and/or fences would confuse the birds! Well done for taking it down. Are they nesting in a box in your garden?

Ironically, he wore a woolly hat!

Klahanie, I showed this to my daughter and she's thrilled with it!

Please just call me Shirley ... no need for formality ... :o))

I am glad that you enjoyed the video Thorneyside

Thanks Shirley_tulip X

That is going too far!!

Raining here, bitterly cold, no snow ... yet! Stay safe and warm ... :o) x

I actually saw a Postman wearing shorts ... madness!

Oh no ... please don't send it further East!

Amazing video Klahanie especially Bailey. Thanks for the link.

Thank you both. I was lucky. The GC had taken delivery in the morning, so I got three like this. And there was lots to choose from. I was so pleased to find this unusual colour.

Thanks Shirley. It’s snowing here now!

Me too!...3 degrees today...we did venture out but even wrapped up well we were eager to come home.

That's good to hear Shirley! Thank you Rose.

That's interesting Rose..but it does make sense.

Not much sign of anything waking up in my garden except for some Hellebores in the front garden.
Very cold here still and morning frost.
So.. sensible plants staying underground keeping warm!

Great present Julia!

Just perfect!

Karen, this is gorgeous and a cracking shot too.

Great photo!

Wonderful tool. I use my long handled fork quite often now, saves bending too much!

Brilliant idea and a great photo too!

Sheila, neither am I really, but we'll muddle through ... :o))

Thanks everyone ... this morning is bloomin' cold at just 4 degrees and it's raining ... :o((

Raining, cold at 4 degrees this morning. I would like to cut out February and March, just go to April please ... :o)

That was very efficient ... not sure workmen down here would be so good!

That looks like what we call a money plant Stan. Brings good luck if you give the leaves a rub they say. Your Strelitzia looking good as well.

A great Christmas gift. Very useful.

That's great, FF! I seem to remember you posted a similar picture last year! What a good idea to hide the flower stems you had! :)

I have 1 Amaryllis with a bud a few inches tall, it won't be more than 3 or 4 weeks before it opens! The other 9 or 10 have not shown any signs of buds just yet. But then it's early days as I didn't start them off until a week ago!

Thanks for the note and instructions Karen.
I love to hear another gardeners info and experiences.

The climate where one lives makes a great difference to what one can grow in one's garden!

Thanks, Andy, but it won't be again till the middle of July onwards!

That was good of them! :)

Thank you for watching the video Julia and Karen.

I also hope it will not last long Hywel. Fingers crossed.

Thank you Bushbernie and Karen for your comments.
Lots of our neighbours and fends build a special compounds on their land for growing some vegetables and flowers. The walls around them have to be higher than 6 feet because deer can surprisingly jump over 6 feet easily. I was little disappointed when we moved here 22 years ago but over the time I grew up to be a nature lover. Although, I still manage to grow a variety of nice plants.

Thank you SBG. The sunshine was so welcome today!

I'm sorry you've had snow and I hope it won't last long, and that the wildlife won't be affected too much.

Thank you Julia and Bushbernie for your nice comments.

The Aloes usually bloom during the winter, along with several bromeliads. I also noticed the first bud on the Strelitzia nicolai. My poinsettia is still in flower.

i like your alterations Karen.
some lovely plants in there.

Surely you feeding them with all that energy will help them get through. I hope it’s a short cold snap. X Thank you for that lovely video link. X

Thank you Balcony, yes there are lots of Snowdrops in the hedgerows now :)

Thank you bernie :)

What a lovely gift every year!

Aww, what a lovely idea. That's a wonderful shot.

So sorry to hear about the loss of your sister Sheila. Condolences to you and the family. That is quite a magnificent shot of Salisbury Cathedral.

My son buys me one each Christmas. I always stand them behind the Maranta to hide the stem!
