Another week of storms left us battered by the winds of Dudley, then shivering in the snow brought by Eunice. I nipped out to get some pics from the garden on Friday afternoon before the snow turned to slush. So here’s my snowy #SixonSaturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First is footprints in the snow. There’s been a pheasant about, but next to him must the hare-prints. I saw a shadow flick past the bedroom window this morning, I think it must have been the hare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a veg growing exchange on twitter, I was persuaded to move a few pak choi from the greenhouse, to a sheltered corner, to encourage them not to bolt. I was promised that they are frost-hardy. We shall see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we’re still bang in the middle of snowdrop season, I’ll end this week with snowdrops in the snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s my chilly #SixonSaturday for this week. We’ve weathered 5 storms now this winter, and have been incredibly lucky to lose just a few plants, whilst keeping the house intact. I hope others can stay the same. Stay safe, and don’t forget to follow the crowd on twitter and via the web from links to the originator of #SixonSaturday, the\u00a0Propagator<\/a> himself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
