The garden has gone from very cold, back to fairly warmish this week.  Here&#8217;s a selection of things from different weathery parts of the week for my #SixOnSaturday this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A warmish start with wallflowers having a go at gently struggling into flower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1757\" height=\"2034\" src=\"https:\/\/balmerino.ddns.net\/geekygarden\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/wallflower.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2406\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sage keeps its leaves all year, looks good in rain or snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1741\" height=\"1564\" src=\"https:\/\/balmerino.ddns.net\/geekygarden\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/sage.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2408\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the time when robins form territories. There are several beginning to pair up in the garden now. Here&#8217;s one hoping I&#8217;ll do a bit of digging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1842\" height=\"2134\" src=\"https:\/\/balmerino.ddns.net\/geekygarden\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/robin.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2410\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Some veg are pretty if you let them go to seed. This is a leek from last year. It put up a huge flower in summer and this is what remains of the seed stem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2712\" height=\"1994\" src=\"https:\/\/balmerino.ddns.net\/geekygarden\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/frost-on-leek.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2412\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I had to look hard to find any leaves left after a couple of storms have passed through.  The colour and frost combination are appealing here. A very short lived garden scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2848\" height=\"1784\" src=\"https:\/\/balmerino.ddns.net\/geekygarden\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/frosty-leaves.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2414\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Teasel again, looks great with a touch of frost. This is a wonderful native plant that has a place across all seasons. I&#8217;ll always welcome it self-seeding around and about in the borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2979\" height=\"1804\" src=\"https:\/\/balmerino.ddns.net\/geekygarden\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/frost-on-teasel.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2417\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you enjoyed this week&#8217;s frosty and not-so-frosty selection for  #SixOnSaturday.  And thanks to those leaving comments on the blog &#8211; sorry if I don&#8217;t always get back to you on time! The blog is going well, but it would be great if more folk on Mastodon, or other parts of the Fediverse got into tooting a Six! Go on, it&#8217;s a much kinder form of social media, not controlled by crazy billionaires. All you need to do is find 6 things in your garden to show us. Then post on social, or add a link at Jim&#8217;s blog below. For regulars, our organiser is Jim at https:\/\/gardenruminations.co.uk\/. And I&#8217;m on mastodon @julie3dharris@mastodon.scot<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy St. Andrews Day to all who celebrate.
