Winter Has Arrived

15 Aug '04 10:30 am

I was just reading Moosey's weekend diary and all the work she has done in the Hump , well I bet this morning she is sitting inside with a hot drink and the cats and Stephen for company and they are all watching the snow falling. It is coming down thick and fast as I write this, in half an hour we have gone from green paddocks to white ones.
Yesterday I planted my Heirloom tomato seeds,despite knowing the weekend weather forecast,now there's a gardeners optimism for you.

Welcome to the forums, Swallowstitch Very Happy

It sounds like you are well in the throws of winter there - snow! Moosey has just sent me a picture of the snow in her garden, only a day after sending a picture of the first daffodils! (Soon to go in the August journal.)

It seems so far away from the tropical summer storms causing floods here in the UK. Our time will come Sad

Is the snow settling? I'd love to see a picture if you have one.

Wow!
Watching the news on the tv lastnight showed the snowy covering responsible for the freezing temps atm...
It looked as pretty as a picture with the trees sagging under piles of meringue and streets and houses glowing in the half-light.

Reality must be different, but it looked pretty Very Happy

I wish we had snow here...just once Wink

Can't wait to see the Moosey snow pics..

Cripes Shocked

tomato sowing already? You ARE keen Mr. Green

I have sent through a photo of my place under snow in the Your Garden forum, but umm, ahh, I sort of doubled up on the pic whilst practising my attachment uploading. Will do better next time. Embarassed

Shall I put some in a freezer bag and send it ASAP to Auckland, Pumpkin?
