It snowed again It were a couple of inch deep before I went to bed but snowed again through the night. A bit of damage to various plants, some plants flattened but starting to recover after snow/ice removed, I feared the worse for the crown imperials. It starting to melt now only to be replaced by more snow forecast It the 1st of May on Sunday
The brunnera jack frost goes well with the frost / snow
Crown imperials were fully arch over this morning, starting to stand up now

Great weather to get out on the bike
No snow but we had one of the sharpest frosts of the winter last night. Ice 1/4'' thick on the birdbath this am.
In the sticks near Peterborough

Yesterdays snow melted but had another covering this morning my poor delephinium getting battered along with everything else. The birds dont look so please either, Put some food out to cheer them up
The black bird getting a bit rowdy, its chased the other birds away
No snow here but plenty of wind, rain and hailstone with the odd overnight frost thrown in. It was very windy last night so I went out this morning with some trepidation to check on my £10 coldframes from Wikinsons....
Not budged an inch and no damage! A combination of their low height and a carefully selected spot seems to have worked.
Success after years of having the larger 4 tier plastic greenhouse things blowing everywhere. And one memorable year a full size plastic greenhouse taking off and landing two doors down Never again!
I had one of them plastic GH, forever blowing over even with bricks holding it down, eventually the wind shredded it. I keep think next doors trampoline going to make it over the fence one day.
