That's very true nut. The whole winter issue though is something that is sad but necessary. How would we be able to rejoice with the return of spring without having to lose that lush green life for a while? Sometimes you have to go through the fire to emerge on the other side. It could be worse...we could live at the poles with six months light and six dark or on the equator and have 12 hours of each all year round.
I love the seasons Fishy. I enjoy the winter prunings, tree work and shredding. The days are a bit short for a few weeks in the middle but the snowdrops soon come up and spring comes again
Ah yes. Digging in the winter nut,when the Robin perches just a few feet away in the hope of a an exposed grub or worm. Every garden has its Robin I think.
Then come spring and you can almost hear the new green shoots pushing up through the soil. The snowdrops and the first time for me,crocuses
I've planted bulbs for the last two autumns and have still over-bought this year and have 470 to plant. I find bulb planting incredibly tedious not least because I'm bound to hit a rogue patch of clay or a pile of bricks but it is all worth it come spring!

It's to keep you fit WW so put that ride-on back in the shed and start pushing

I haven't got a ride-on, honest
.
I agree - my lawn is growing like crazy
Growth hasn't really stopped this year has it? I've had to prune some shrubs to cut the weight down and stop branches snapping.

I know where I'd rather live
