Early Winter

Once the frost came it decided it was going to stay, so we have regularly had sub zero temperatures, the lowest of which so far was minus 6. We don't remember having temperatures as low as that before Christmas since we have lived here.  But the climate is changing so they tell us. So far my geraniums are surviving in the porcherie (although I don't like to shout too loudly). They are literally wrapped up in old sleeping bags!!

When John came back from the UK he brought me "The English Garden" magazine which was full of the customary photographs of plants covered in frost which grace all gardening magazines at this time of year. So not to be out done I went out with the "brownie" this morning.
