Had to go down the garden to shake the snow off the shrubs & roses as a lot of them were bent over under the weight of it. A large lavatera had a snapped branch & lots of stems collapsed over the path by the shed so I pruned a lot of that off & dug out the bird feeders & trays from the snow as the collared doves were all staring at me through the windows!

I'm sorry to hear of the damage to your plants SueA, I hope the snow has cleared now.

I had four trays of variegated Pelargonium cuttings in a cold frame and I've brought them into the conservatory in case the weather gets frostier and kills them. I took all the dead leaves off them and tidied them up a bit. I did it in the kitchen where it was nice and warm

No seedsowing today, cut back, and divided some Canna Lilies. Then potted up a lot of sprouting bulbs I had forgotten about, after which I filled 12 mini troughs weed compost ready for seedsowing in thhe next few days.
