Overview of the slope garden in January 2012

That looks gorgeous Homebird nice shapes too to the lawns

Looking good there Homebird - you wouldn't guess it was the middle of winter, would you?

Lovely pics,Homebird...and nice still to see plenty of colour. My Hellebores don't seem to be doing anything...They were.new last year,but even the foliage hasn't grown,so I don't know what's wrong with them.
Oh,well you can't win em all.!

looking great HB

Shhh Homebird we have February to get through first as that is normally when we get snow.

that's about how I see winter Sixpence - "get through it" it's like a huge dark sludgy tunnel

Yes your right there Paul :o)))

yep just can't stand January - february slightly better - but as you say snow is more common

Doesn't it make you feel better that this January is ok so far,Paul? .I must admit,it has always been a 'sad' time for me,but this year,I feel ok about it..

I was wondering if the gales we ve had is from the hides of march and are we going to have an early spring again

Been great so far Bloomer :)))) - also could be a snowy spell late this year into April :((

Can't believe how mild its been today..and rest of the week,apparently..:o) I can live with that !..We will worry about April when we get there,Paul..,and not a darn thing we can do about it but try and be prepared..:o(

Lovely set of flowers HB...you garden looking great as usual :)

Just realised how beautiful your garden is HB. Oh for those trees as a backdrop!

what a lovely garden x
