So just a few days ago I wrote my blog, boasting about the mild weather we were having & how the plants were still looking great. Honestly I should not have written that piece, because what happened last night, we went down to MINUS FIVE CENTIGRADE , that’s right minus five. Of course that has been devastating for the plants as I will show you in the next lot of shots. On the weather this morning the coldest place in the U.K. was also in Perthshire at minus 5.6 so we were not far behind that. But what a beautiful crisp sunny morning we have had since, though this time of the year with the sun so low it doesn’t raise the temperature that much, in fact it is only plus 4 now (3pm). A mate in Somerset has just informed me that the lowest they have got to is 7C , so we are still pretty cold for those soft southerners.
Just wonder how long before I tell you about our first snow?
That lovely Clematis wilted with frost.
Not sure if these normally upright plants will recover?
