Sometimes the many layers of clothing (and boots and scarves and hats and mittens) help. Other times, all I want to do is read a good book and sit by the fire all day. Our soil is frozen solid and all the plants are dormant, anyway, so I envy you your green, growing plants. February always seems like the longest month here, even though it's literally the shortest. It's pretty much a repeat of January for us. In March, things start to change...Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-58234502642520687112017-02-04T08:56:55.719+00:002017-02-04T08:56:55.719+00:00Your garden looks so beautiful, even in January, a...Your garden looks so beautiful, even in January, and despite the fox and squirrels making modifications. <br /><br />In my climate January is the shortest month as it is our best for gardening work like moving/removing/planting. August is the long one as it is so hot and the plants mostly look so unhappy. <br /><br />I will remember the saying about no bad weather, only the wrong clothes!

There have been so many glorious sunrises and sunsets - I don't remember them being this good! Your garden looks lovely as always, despite the better efforts of the fox and squirrels. Seeing your flowers really raises the spirits.

You seem to have tremendous patients with it and that is wonderful!<br />I really love snowdrops, but they don't want to grow in San Diego. Another blogger recommended to plant spring snowflakes instead, which I did last year. They are coming up right now, but no blooms. Today I have seen a clump at my friends house in full bloom! What a bummer, I still have some hope, though, that mine will "do something". The clump at my friends house is very established since many years. <br />Wishing you rain and a wonderful February, as you said yourself, spring is not too far away anymore in your neck of the woods. <br />Warm regards, <br />Christinaorganicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-80842774356556650932017-02-02T01:46:53.424+00:002017-02-02T01:46:53.424+00:00Helene-Your witch hazel is a nice addition for win...Helene-Your witch hazel is a nice addition for winter interest in your garden and I also like your snowdrops and Hellebores. The idea of an illusion mirror gate would be fabulous for your space, and the photoshop picture you created makes it look like its already there! It has been a pretty mild winter here on Long Island as you get freezing temperatures. What I mean by mild is that it has been mostly in the 40's and 50's until now. The temperatures have just recently dropped into the 30's with an occasional dusting of snow. It looks like spring is just about underway in your garden. The only thing I have blooming now are the hellebores, so I have to rely on evergreens. For now I can only dream of warmer days ahead!

I'm scared that my plants will survive this rainy winter and yours are in dry and cold weather.

I love your Hellebore hybrids I have to buy one at least... But they are quite expensive here what I have noticed. Beautiful photo with those snowdrops! We are having snow layer after good three years and I am very happy as groundwater lever here is in general very, very low here... I fell sorry for you ragarding missing rain as we have also struggled hard with lack of watter in last few years. As we are already 1st of February today and there is still about 15cm of snow on the ground it could help garden during the summer hopefully. I am looking forward to February video! Take care and have good repotting and seeding time :-)!

Alltid lika trevligt att få se din trä...Hej Helene!<br />Alltid lika trevligt att få se din trädgård. Du har mycket som blommar, och de söta snödropparna längtar jag efter. Härligt att se alla djur som besöker din trädgård, även om de gör skada. Hade både grävling och rådjur förra året, hoppas de inte återkommer. Hönsnät brukar jag lägga på mina tidiga krokus, så de blir lämnade ifred. Man vill gärna se dem blomma, då man planterat dem. Dörren i muren är riktigt fin, hittade mycket intressant på websidan. <br />Ha en fin februari.<br />Hälsningar MarikaMaribelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17971758563451177650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-45852378608201768952017-02-01T03:51:19.819+00:002017-02-01T03:51:19.819+00:00Your fox sounds remarkably like my raccoons - cute...Your fox sounds remarkably like my raccoons - cute to look at but very hard on a garden. I wish I had a solution for you but, as you discovered, thwarting the creatures in one location usually means they just move on to another. I hope your wished-for rain comes soon - we finally got ours! Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.com
