Winter is well and truly upon us with January often being one of the coldest months. Snow, frost, wind, rain, mud and grey skies seem here to stay but never fear, snowdrops and celandines will soon be putting on their annual show. Yes, the days are lengthening, but oh so very slowly.

Whereas many plants struggled in the heat of our wonderful summer, September’s dews and mists will refresh and revive.
