Bit too cold for me as well. I did a quick nip round the garden in temporary sunshine to see what's coming up & have found half a dozen small clumps of what looks suspiciously like muscari leaves - although I wouldn't knowingly plant these and certainly not in the Delphinium bed, so will just have to wait and see. Most of my plants are labelled but these ones just say 'bulbs', not very helpful so must do better!
Rescued the crazy delphinium from snow, still got a bit damaged though. Knocked snow off some other plants. Started sowing second big lot of seeds yesterday,wanted to finish sowing the rest today but to dark in greenhouse.
Its forecast snow till tomorrow morning but the kid in me still loves it . It about 5 - 6 inch at the moment .
Might go for a walk, if anyone who chucks a snowball at me getting snow bathed
Planted a Blueberry in a pot, planted some Daffs from the GC into a nice spot, mooched over where my Dahlias and 2 new Clematis are going to go, and sorted seeds ready to plant, then got excited about the Fritillary coming up that I had forgotten about!
It stopped raining this afternoon so I pruned Paul's Scarlet and the Pilgrim climbing roses. I potted up some gypsophila Bristol Fairy that I bought in a packet in the GC. There were about 9 shooting roots so I put them in 3 deep pots. Potted up purple sage which had grown roots along the stems.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

Had an hour in the tunnel after dropping my daughter off at the station
Split yet more Hostas. I hope to finish the tunnel plants tomorrow.
I have to say, I'm not minding the cooler weather as it's kinda put everything on hold in the garden and letting me catch up a bit.
No gardening here we have snow

Peki , wondered where you are , not seen any snow this winter at all
which is a shame
Infact nice and sunny but cold
No gardening till next week , in Swindon on way to London to celebrate nieces 21st
hope you are all keeping well and those with Snow you are not to effected
Eeeek, I hope that snow doesn't shuffle down to the East Midlands. I'd welcome it from Nov to Feb, but now we're in March I'd rather it didnt intrude!
Have checked on my seedlings and had a potter.
Fed the chickens and gave them the guest bedroom quilt on loan
Glorious sunny day again, really spring-like, warm enough to take my gardening coat off and...wash the car
I did plan to plant but got sidetracked
