Snow postscript

Posted Mon 05 March 2018 in garden

The snow was around 4 to 5 inches at its peak and it lasted for almost a full week as the final bits of snow rapidly melted on Monday.

So it wasn't as bad here as some other places. The lowest forecast temperature was -5C but as I don't have an outdoor thermometer I don't know the actual achieved temperatures in the garden.

Most things seem to have picked themselves up. The evergreen Salvias have suffered some leaf die back but I think they will be OK, we will have to wait and see.

A Polemonium that was getting leaves before is no longer visible, so something has happened there.

All in all, not too bad though, hope that was the worst of the winter behind us now!
