Hi, let's start a conversation - right here, right now! If you have a question, I'll also endeavour to get back to you over at your place.

My general policy re comments
I value genuine commenters for the conversation they bring. Those aiming to link back and give credence to commercial websites (thankfully rare) will be removed.
Blog posts are kept open for your Comments for as long as possible - for at least 3 months. I've reluctantly taken the decision if a post comes in for a sp@m attack after that time, I'll remove its Comments facility. I've found genuine comments are rarely left after 3 months, but dozens of sp@m comments are :( Removing these takes away the joy that a genuine comment might be left one day.
Lovely photo, Ivy berries? or perhaps a fatsia?

Hi Gaz - thanks - they are similar aren't they? It's ivy :)
ReplyDeleteYes very similar, quite a few of the various relatives are also very similar too
DeleteThe plant looks quite cosy in a chilly sort of way :-)
ReplyDeleteEG - I think snow's meant to be quite a good insulator if memory serves me correctly. I'm hoping it's the case for my salads!
ReplyDeleteOh your ivy is toying with you peeking out like that.
ReplyDeleteI think snow is a good insultator its the damp in winter thats the problem so if we have lots of rain and low temperatures you are more likely to loose your salads
Now you see me, now you don't - snow adds a most exciting dimension to plants - looks like a creature that you might come across in 'Dr Who' :)
ReplyDeletePG - it certainly is ;) The salads are mostly under cloches and cold frames so they should be OK.
ReplyDeleteAnna - it certainly does. I'm also most taken with the snow 'hats' my Echinops seed heads are sporting at the moment :)
That's the peek all my plants are giving me these days.
ReplyDeleteCommonweeder - we're in the thaw now, so mine are coming out of hiding ;)
ReplyDeletePeekaboo to you - must catch up spoon. Hope all is well
ReplyDeleteTBS - it's exciting times - catching up sounds good :)
