My garden: even in winter, even when it is raining, it still brings a little joy... :D

Lovely view, nicely manicured lawns. Sigh, be nice to see a little moisture right now.
Another 41C day here.
 
Indeed, Andy, a garden is a great thing to have. Put in some vegetables and it will also feed you in other ways...

Hi Tim! yes, a little moisture around...though I have a confession to make on the manicured lawn! due to overhanging trees from the neighbouring garden, the grass really does not grow well, even though I have oversown it with a shade-loving variety. So, much of the green is moss not grass...as much as 90% in places I would say! I have actually grown to love the moss green better than the grass green, and moss requires no cutting! :D

hi quester,
I used to grow vegetables and fruit organically in my previous garden and that was really satisfying. Now, time is not my friend, old age is edging in, overhanging trees make moss the best crop to grow and also, because my garden used to be railway property until 1960 or so, it has charming amounts of antique pottery shards, glass, strange corroded metal sculptures and loads of coal ash mixed through the soil. Never a dull moment digging in it mind! but no treasures of national significance have come to light so far... ;)

Andy, whether moss or grass, it does not matter here. The green is what counts. :) Also the snowdrops matter.

Hi Andy,

Was that Spring? Where did summer go then?

We're only 8 miles apart and this was the scene here 2 days later......



This was not taken through glass (apart from the bits in the lens), those large blobby bits were massive snow flakes. Still this is Scotand, so it won't last and we will probably have all 4 seasons again tomorrow!
