January is always a challenging month for gardeners, but this syear it feels like the elements have continually conspired against us. Prolonged periods of snow and then rain have totally saturated the soil. Obviously this means we should stay off the borders and be careful to not tread too frequently on the lawn; easier said than done when you need to access the shed!
The occasional nice day is so welcome and gardeners and cats are desperate to make the most of them.
The sunny days might be infrequent but are appreciated all the more for their rarity. All the pictures were taken this month, most of them on Friday! It is difficult not to be impatient waiting for spring but there is still so much to be appreciated in the depths of winter. The grasses, for instance, provide year round interest.
However, today it is windy and rainy again, so it is back to indoor jobs, washing out and disinfecting the pots.
