Can you believe it? we had a third snow morning. Just a dusting of icing sugar for the grass, and a good frozen one on our cars. It is virtually unheard of to have more than 1 snow a year, we have been so privileged.
The garden didn't seem to mind. Once the snow melted it left puddles everywhere and the garden had needed a nice drink. Even a week later we still have some big puddles. And with warm weather, well everything is growing. I found a tiny rhododendron bush in the undergrowth, and the jasmine has started to flower. Such a beautiful fragrance in late afternoon when I walk past.
My basil hasn't come up. Whether the seed just wasn't viable in the first place, or whether I have done something wrong trying to germinate them, I'm not sure.
This week we ate leeks and carrots and sprouting broccoli which had overwintered in the abandoned garden of what is destined to become our new home! the leeks were enormous! and delicious.
