Heavy frosts over the past few days have frozen the ground solid again, I hope it hasn't damaged the emerging bulbs.
Have a great weekend!

About Me
- Liz
- Sheffield, United Kingdom
- Intially this blog was meant as a record of the development of my garden when we first arrived in 2008. Now although it is still a record, I view it more as a photo blog with minimal talking and lots of photos. I enjoy spending time out in the garden, usually staring and doing little else… I garden organically and where possible garden for nature.

Hi Liz, each of your photos is a delight showing the delicate beauty of moss in frost. Still hovering above the 0 here, for this weekend at any rate.
Laura
Pretty pictures you have there :)
Bulbs can stand up to a lot, so maybe they'll be ok :)
You weren't trying to warm the ground as you lay there taking photos, were you? ;-) Very pretty pictures. I'd say if your bulbs haven't yet emerged, they'll be okay.
What great shots Liz, it looks like a miniature jungle. The frosty moss is very pretty. I guess all this snow we have does help insulate the plants but that is the only thing I can find good about all this cold.
It has been frosty again here too Liz. The birdbath has had to have the ice broken for several days now!
Nice chilly photos. I suspect the bulbs are probably more robust than you think, I hope so :)
Bulbs are tougher than we give them credit for......but I think my huge phormium has had it!
Gorgeous photos - I love the icy moss :)
Fab pictures and I'm sure your bulbs will be fine
I think your bulbs will be fine. Your photos do capture the feeling of the season.
Hi Laura,
I hope it's warmed up for you a little since the weekend!
It hasn't been too bad here for the past week or so, but I hear it's supposed to go downhill towards the end of the week.
Hi Kyna,
I think the bulbs look ok so far, and hopefully we won't get more hard frosts in the coming weeks. I'm looking forward to all my Irises coming out and having a sea of purple around the decking again :)
Hi SG,
Quite a number of bulbs have come up already, and the Tulips are the ones I'm actually worried about as they're the most likely to sustain some damage.
Hi Lona,
Indeed, I have to agree that the only good thing about the snow is it at least insulates everything from the cold. After our snow had melted in December we then had repeated night lows of -16 and around there. So I am really worried that I have lost a lot of perennials due to no longer being protected.
Hi Jan,
No frosts for the past couple of days thankfully, and yesterday was quite nice and I managed to spend a couple of hours out in the garden flooring the Buddleja in the front and making a mini fence from the branches to line along the underneath of the hedge - providing a nice home for insects and such.
Hi Liz,
Sorry to hear about your Phormium, my Cordyline has died... To be fair I've planned to get rid of it for a while now and it only just survived last winter but this time it wasn't so lucky.
I hope Spring is appearing in your garden now! It must be, you're not far from us :)
Hi Barbara,
Thanks very much, I look forward to seeing more growth. I've noticed over the past couple of days that the grass in my neighbour's garden is looking nice and fresh green!
Hi Liz, despite the fact your garden is frozen you always manage to show images that conjour up a little magic.
I am sure your bulbs will be fine. It is amazing just what does survive in a garden.
Temperatures have risen here during the last week, but frosts will be back at the weekend.
It has been a very long winter.
Glorious images as ever. Do you find yourself getting dirt round your lens, getting so low and close? I discovered some round my lens hood the other day...
Hi Cheryl,
It's quite a bit colder today than it has been for the past week, I just hope we don't have more frosts... Although I am sure they will come. I've discovered another few patches of Snowdrops around the garden - some in the deep shady front (nice surprise) and some in the 'left' border which at this time of year sees very little sunlight too. They've literally appeared in the past couple of days and are close to flowering!
Hope you have a nice week, or weekend :)
Hi Janet,
Oddly enough no I don't get mud on the camera/lens... I do get lots of dust though and need the cameras and lenses professionally cleaned. However, I do spend most of the year with muddy knees and a wet bum! :D
Hi Liz
Hope you're keeping warm ;-)
Lovely photos as always,
Alice
