Winter is here!

Well I have not been keeping up with this too well.  But then things are slow here at the moment.
Had my 45th birthday on Saturday, very relaxing and nice, nearly snowed too, that would have been some birthday present, but sitting home by the fire was nice enough.
On Sunday I went with my mum to a citrus workshop, put on by the, Diggers Club. We had a great time. The speaker, Ian Tolley, was brilliant, and even with a really bad cold, still gave a great talk.
I feel more confident about putting in a lemon now and will need to get cracking to prepare the ground for a tree this spring.

In other gardening events; The herb garden is put in, the raspberries are cut back and the blackberries are mulched and trimmed back, ready for spring.
The cold weather has finally arrived here, it has started feeling like a real winter for the first time.
Still lots to do, but now I have the excuse that it is too cold. LOL
