    I don't know which variety of camellias are these.they were already here when we moved. I was very happy to see those when we had come to view the house. 

    We all enjoyed going out in snow. Something new to experience after a while.

    @Desi_in_London, some were planned for pots. Rest were rescued from soggy waterlogged garden.

    I feel awful guilty about not defrosting my bird bath today, in time for these two Doves that landed and couldn't get a drink..
    I've done it now, but doubt they will come back..

    We’re ok thanks. My test result came back negative and I haven’t worsened at all. OH just feels very tired but she’s eating and not having any major problems so far. 

    Really glad it’s not hit me, would be very hard looking after a 2 and 4 year old if we were both ill.

    @newbie77 - garden looks lovely in the snow!

    ..glad to hear you're doing ok.. let's hope it stays that way..

    ..let me ask Perki a couple questions..
    @Perki
    ..do you think you'll get any apples on that old tree of yours this year? the one from seed?
    ... what other trees do you have in your garden, I note you have trees..  I like ornamentals, do you have any Cornus?...

    All my apple tree sapling perished , the dual apple tree I've got when I was younger was a bare root in a box around 3-4ft . It does fruit but it more of a biennial fruiter now .

    I don't have many tree just a few - apple tree - Laburnum - Ameliachier lamarckii and new addition I planted last autumn Parrotia Persian spiral are all young but for the apple. I don't have any flowering Cornus trees yet which are probably my favourite group of flowering trees the varieties are vast , I really would like Cornus Controversa / padgoda one day and a Ceries Forest pansy and another cornus mas variegated  or zelkova serrata variegated ,   might as well thrown in Coral bark acer while I am at it. I just need to lean at that shed in the back garden enough so it falls over its just a bit to sturdy yet  :/ that's where my pond / ornamental trees going along with my other plants I want.  I would like a arbutus as well I love the cinnamon bark particularly on arbutus andrachroides but it rather large and may not suit my climate I keep wondering if I could kind of bonsia it in a large pot it but I've never been able to find any info . I've consider planting a cercis japonica on the garage site next door where I do a bit of gorilla gardening just so the candy floss smell drifts over to my garden.  Plans for another year more like, my front lawn looks like it might disappear this year instead  >:)
