Frozen Garden

We had our first frost here yesterday, just a light brushing of ice on plants closest to the ground. Today was a deeper one, with even the higher leaves and flowers outlined in tiny fuzzy diamonds. I'm pleased we've got some cold weather at last, it sends all the important signals to seeds, roots and animals that this is winter so they recognise spring when it comes.

However, now we've had the frost, that'll do. Come on, spring!
