Welcome to 2021. We won’t go into why we are so glad to see the back of 2020. Suffice it to say we are.
January has started cold with snow, ice and freezing nights and some days. Nothing to do in the garden, it’s frozen solid, as is our pond. Time to catalogue what seeds I have and order in if necessary. Something I enjoy doing every January with dreams of the year ahead. Forgetting the disappointments of the last year and thinking this year will be better. I know, dream on.
I did manage a quick tour yesterday and below are the photos I took. Notice the contrast to the photo of the mahonia taken at the end of December. All the colours are muted or not there at all.




We are having our coldest snap in three years. Good for the garden 🙂 Stay safe.

We too. In the last few years January has just been rain and more rain. I prefer this even if it is cold. The garden, as you say, needs it. Today is -3 but sunny and no wind, lovely.
