More snow expected in the garden.

It looks as though we might get some more snow this weekend, although not as much as a few weeks ago.

Will you be doing anything to protect your plants which have been tricked into thinking it is Spring and safe to come out?

There's the risk of snow here as well. I luckily have a good source of mulch from our pet rabbits. I'm covering up the rhubarb and the asparagus but any flowers will have to fend for themselves.

I think we have about 3 nights of frost forecast, starting tonight.
I shall therefore have to go and recover my Camellias and Rhododenderon buds with some fleece as I don't want them to nipped off now. One has been in flower for a week or two, but two others are only just starting to split open.

The snowdrops survived the last snowfalls, so I hope those that are still in flower will be alright again this time.

2 baby Magnolias in pots I have popped in the shed for a few days.
Can't do much more.

Nothing here has been conned into thinking its spring yet. Be a few more weeks before we start to worry about the garden

Lawn in under water so cant be cut, although the mower is charged and ready to go asap as the front of the house looks a mess

Everything is behind here Daffodil Sunday held next Sunday in aid of charity at the beautiful 'stately home' down the road has been canceled.

Spring has been postponed this year...

My tete a tete are all out and look great but no doubt they will be crushed if the snow settles.
