    I had some lupins that had been doing quite nicely, up about 4inches.

    A snug blanket of snow will keep them warm....image

    Lupins, and all other herbaceous plants should be fine.

    The snow really does act as a blanket of insulation. Much better than them being exposed to hard frosts.

    What's going on in Geoff's photos?  Is Cody rounding up the chuckies to bring them along the path and into the warmth of the house? How decent of Geoff.

  • BTW Geoff, I do to!

    I thought it looked as if Cody was herding the chucksimage Great phos Geoff.

    Cody must be well trained, staying on the path. Oscar forgets about paths other peoples garden etc when snow is about.

    I think I am goig to sow some seeds - onions, verbascum, anti(snap dragons), laurentia.  image Bored not gardening and i have an electric propagetor to keep them warm - if it works image. Quite old

    Reporting in for afternoon shift.

    Have been womanning dog rescue charity shop for a hour or so - not one single customer and just one chap bringing in donations so closed up and went shopping. Only dog food and petrol, all main or well-used roads except one so no driving probs. OH has been called into work, I'm alarmed that he went on his motor scooter as he'll be coming home after 8,30 this eve and things might have frozen by then image

    Have just let my chooks out into snowy garden, they are currently foraging in the defrosted bits.
