Awful weather - typical Brits talk

Merry Xmas community.  Enjoy, whatever your plans 😻 xx

Sunny here but found that it was nicer being on the moors than fixing a soggy garden.
Both fancy Helebore s are in fine bud, the magnolia looks like it's succumbed to the drought after its bug infestation as the greengage. I'll wait and see if anything happens come spring before they are firewood.
Bought a plastic pot to chop the end off sunk in the border and put the flourishing mint in 
YES the local hardware shop has pots and seeds in where the Christmas stuff was already.
Enjoy your day tomorrow everyone, however you choose to spend it!

Fine and bright in Devon yesterday

Brought the Christmas tree in and decorated it this afternoon, it's survived another year 

No gardening until 29th unless moving and watering houseplants counts. Most survive on a tend/feed on Friday routine so they should be OK. 
I hope everyone has an enjoyable day

Happy Christmas everyone (including our "absent friend")! from a lurker who has been enjoying all your photos and comments over the past few months...my pic not a patch on most, horticulturally or photographically, but the best I could do - Pelargonium overwintering and still flowering in the back porch, with snowy backdrop from the recent cold spell...

Ooh pretty pic lessimpecunious. 

Weather a bit meh here, it's not raining or sunny or cold particularly. The church bells are ringing carols (something I've never known before) - we've had "I saw 3 ships", now doing "Once in Royal David's City" which is my favourite :B 

Merry Christmas everyone!

Think I've got a cold coming. Got a puncture by the lead factory. The elastic snapped in my favourite pants, lost a fiver and dropped my phone in the cat's dinner. There's green fur on the half-tin of custard in the fridge and the turkey's eloped with the parsnips. Merry Christmas!

Not much to report.
It's still gloomy, windy, wet and cold.
A lot of plants rotting. I've hung net curtains over all the windows so I can't see the damage.
But - there are bulbs popping up, primroses putting up a few shy flowers.

Nothing exciting to report here. The garden’s still out there, as is/are the squirrel/s 😒

I took father and mum some white roses for Christmas, and saw this queer wee tree while I was looking round. It was about 10ft tall ish, bit more maybe, and a very pleasing shape and colour (you know, in real life 🙄)

Much the same here, wet & windy, including a soggy and dead plant garden

I did take the opportunity on one day of sun, Monday I think, to sort out my vine weevil killer, watered on & with luck that should be them gone. If sun ever comes back, I'll plant out my hyacinths

I'm now pondering about the next lot of vine weevils, the killer including nematodes, is blooming expensive. Wondering if it would, it is cheaper to just replace the potting compost and tip the old onto the garden for the birds and bugs to eat them? Time for some sums before I make my next move, who knows how much compost will be by then?

Greenfly have moved indoors onto my Cape primroses , oh joy, gave them a drenching of posh "sort it all out but not with chemicals" killer. Surprisingly it did work well on the conservatory whitefly this year, so I mustn't scoff too hard

Nice place to visit your mum and dad...think that might be a Box tree...
