WINTER WONDERLAND

We didn’t get the snowbomb the forcasters thought would come our way, we missed it by a few kilometers, the whole of Belgium was covered in snow up to 25 cm, only a few villages in the north were spared and got noting of it. But the next day we got some, not much, just to cover the garden a bit and turned it into a Winter wonderland. As of tomorrow we’ll get 9 C° and the next days even higher.

Here are a few pictures I took yesterday.

A few plant tables.

Snow on dried flower stalks of the sedum spectabile.

Rose bottles.

Snow on thistles.

Snow on a wintergreen viburnum

I hope you are all ok, wherever you are, some will have snow and ice, others who live in Summer at the moment; enjoy your garden !

A RARE SIGHT

Snow is a rare sight over here, many decades ago we had much more snow as it was a lot colder in Winter. Usually it melts the same day. I took a few pictures in my garden this morning but most of the snow is gone now but there is fresh snow on the way, it could be just a little bit but it can be quite a lot, we’ll see tomorrow. I would have loved to go outside and on the street but there was ice under the snow so it was dangerous, I didn’t want to risk my new knee.

Our beech hedge was covered in snow on the top.

My viburnum bodnantense was covered in pink blooms as we had a very soft Autumn, then all of a sudden the temperatures dropped to -6 C° overnight.

A view in the garden.

A few of my pots covered in snow.

A few of my plant tables.

I took all these pictures from the backdoor as the patio looked like a frozen lake.

Take care ! And enjoy your garden if you live in a warm climate.
