Half way through winter

With mid January upon us I always think we are half way through winter.   Here in Somerset the warm weather has been a pleasant change from the last two winters with very cold and snowy months in January and December.

I’ve still got geraniums in full flower in my window boxes however there is still every chance of a cold frozen spell before March.

The weather conditions as I write are perfect for bare root planting, so if you are intending to plant some hedges or trees before next spring, now is the time to be getting them in, March is only six weeks away.
