There's a reminder of last summer in today's vase. It seems a long time ago today after snow yesterday and a well below freezing minumum temperature last night. The sky is a beautiful blue, the sun's shining but it's bitterly cold out there. In my vase today are just a few stems of lagurus ovatus also known as bunny's tail grass. Its' a hardy annual grass which produces the softest to touch seedheads which look good in a vase as well as when they are dried.
Thanks as always to Cathy from 'Rambling In The Garden' for gathering us together every Monday to share our vases.
With this current spell of wintry weather predicted to last a few days I think that gardening activities will be very minimal. I'm hoping that the extra layer of fleece and the small electric heater will give enough protection to over-wintering salvias and ranuculus as well as my potted snowdrops which were bought in at the very last moment. The seed box sort is nearly complete except the vegetable section so I will be able to get my seed order in. Maybe time to catch up on some garden related podcasts that I've been meaning to listen to 🤔 I hope that it's warmer in your neck of the woods this coming week and that you can get to spend some time in the garden.
