    I was in the garden yesterday,it was a beautiful day with temps around 12 degrees with clear sunshine and the birds twittering away ,it was great to be back in the garden again after the garbage weather we have had.

    I spent a few hours tidying up,in general and admiring the Bushes and Shrubs,Climbers etc all starting to shoot into life.
    I was like a kid in a sweet shop,happy sketching and planning what i was going to do this year in the Garden.:blue thumb: .

    I got up this morning, and Shock :hate-shocked:,The place was white with a heavy Frost and it's freezing:frown:.

    I just hope it's not going to be like 2 years ago when lots of young shoots and plants were killed off with frost.:gaah:.
