Potty Gardening at 0 degrees!

That looks a lovely spot for a pot, my Pittosporum is weighted down with snow but as it has been before several times I think it will be ok.

I'm sure they'll be snug as bugs in rugs! :-)

another good day out in the fresh air. lucky you. That pot looks good enough without any plants in it :o)

we have had about 4 inches of snow this afternoon and it was minus 3 on the way home. frrreeezing. lots of black ice too :o(

Remembered too late about my saxifrage black ruby. covered in snow so moved in to the greenhouse. do you think they will survive?

im sure your plants will be snug in their fleeces barbara, that pot is lovely,, is that someone in the background in second pic? looks like someone unless its my eyes lol

You poor things! You know I hate snow - but plants seem to be OK under that white blanket, don't they - it's prolonged frost (or cold and wet) that kills them!

No Sandra - you might be looking at next door's gate, possibly? Nobody else was 'potty' enough to be outside today! LOL.

Love the pot - you did well with clearing it Spritz - by the way I can see a figure to - black top, and what looks like grey legs...spooky!

lol its probably the way it looks like someone in a black jacket and jeans haha

busylizzy we posted that at same time,, very spooky

It totally looks like a figure doesn't it!

Ah-ha! I took another look - you're right - it's our neighbour's daughter! How dare she hi-jack my photo! Grrrrr.....

yes it does busy... i keep looking and its a person,, how strange , cant find the spy glass to double check lol

lol hahaha im so glad you see her barbara i thought i could see a ghost then

LOL - thank goodness for that!

How fun I know you will enjoy this new addition to your yard it is beautiful cant wait to see the new plants enjoy your holiday.

Thanks, Lujean! :-)) You too....

I love your pot Spritz,

You have inspired me to ask hubby for one or at least a voucher from a local garden centre so that I can find a new pot too. I want something large and frost proof.

As in Somerset, its cold here in Cardiff, but we're not expecting snow.

I too had a good couple of hours in the garden recently - I cannot stand looking at weeds all through the winter.

I can recommend clematis Wisley as a late summer flowering one - deep purple.

That was my brief, too, R'smum - 'large and frostproof' - to which I added...'unusual'. :-)))

I do like getting in the garden if and when I can, all year round. I shall take a look and see if there's any space for clematis.....

Very nice Barbara...I like your pot in it's new home..cannot wait to see it full and producing later in the new year...I was beginning to think your neighbor had one of the most strangest gates I had ever seen..lol

I hope your plants survive. I hope it gets milder very soon :o(((

Oh Hywel - so do I!

Cat - nor can I!!!! :-)))

your pot looks nice in its new hom,e.....to cold for me to garden..lol

Love your pot Barbara and as for fleecing i went yesterday in my little greenhouse and put some extra protection on some of my baby plants i did at back end, greenhouse bubble wrapped but baby plants have got fleece over them and yesterday i put some newspaper over them aswell, so should be all nice and warm.

That should be fine then, Carol. :-)

Thanks Holly - it is a bit chilly out there - but good for me (I think!)

I use an old skate board of the bairns to help me move my pots.Looking forward to seeing your pot in full flower.

Not long now, Mavis - I'm just starting a blog! :-)))

My word,you HAVE been working hard Spritz ! Off to see your next blog now !Lol

Bye! LOL.
