A Long Winter

Although not as snowy as last year, the winter has lasted a long time. The bare, open ground in the garden will stay bare for a long time yet.

Frosty Honesty

As Honesty is a biannual, which means it only lives for two years (ittakes one year to grow leaves and then another to flower), this year will be a flowering year.

Jack Frost's Fingerprints

This photo was taken on Mr. S.'s glasshouse. You can see how the icy crystals have slowly built up over the night.

No weather is too hot or too cold for the Mini-Garden Hippo. Here, he takes a nap whilst waiting for the sun to come out and warm him up. What an easy life. Mind you, there's not much else to do in the garden.

The Sleeping Beauty

Don't we wish we were all as beautiful when we are asleep?
