Just checked Met Office site - now it says 'severe gales' and -3C Hatches are battened, plants are protected as much as possible without a greenhouse. The survivors will survive - those that don't will be replaced with something tougher. I'm not going out there with more fleece and bubblewrap in this rain
Hosta - cheers
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
ooooh sounds horrid for you Dove and I see in another thread Parisglide is suffering too and then at the other extreme Pat is boiling!
i really don't want to gloat but for the first time I think this winter we have deep frost, icy temps -3 but the bluest of blue skies. We were expecting snow but it's a stunner
Weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them.” A A Milne
Oh dear Dove not sounding to good. Sun is out here at mo but freezing. Dreaded housework then hopefully get outside for a short spell. Just finished building our pond, any idea when oxygenators etc become available? Sounds picturesque Lily . must get on or else I will get nothing done lol. ta ta .
Sorry Lesley, just seen you there . I love whoever made the onsie lol but I tend to be in them more and more now and have quite a collection...even have hubby in on the craze but there so comfy. House warm now so must dash.
Brrr. Car says the temperature is 4degrees, but the wind is freezing. Real brass monkey weather.
The new thermostat plug I got for the greenhouse seems to work better than the frost stat on the heater. I've turned the heater on full, and plugged it in through the thermostat plug.
The little birds are stocking up on food. I see 2robins, a blue tit, a coal tit ,a nuthatch and half a dozen long tailed tits on the feeders. A sparrow and a couple of blackbirds on the floor.
Ive just eaten Verduns caramel cream filled donut as he doesnt seem to be around.
Just in for a wee heat, stuck news on to find out that the actor, Alan rickman has died due to cancer aged 69 , I thought he was a brilliant actor and another person who will be missed.
Lovely day here - wall to wall blue sky, though breezy. A couple of hours cutting and stacking wood this morning, now trying to set up online access to my bank account - without success because, as it turns out, they've sent me the wrong number! Shame, because I'm expecting a someone to pay me for my old engine. But strangely, someone's paid in a substantial sum that I wasn't expecting! Is this a scam?
A skein of geese has just flown over, honking merrily and I'm going for a walk to have a look at the river.
Steve, there is a scam. Someone pays in a substantial amount, then a request comes for you to transfer it to a certain account, then the original transfer is recalled.
I would talk to your bank in person, and definitely don't transfer any money via any phone or email requests.

Pat, if you're looking in, we have a new member from Australia!
He or she just posted on the Gardening Programmes on the Web thread and uses the name Ginger 2.
So if you are bored and want to chat to a fellow Australian, or if you just want to say hello and make the newbie feel at home...

Hi all. Hope everyone is OK
