What do I love about winter?

Mostly I get SAD - seasonal affective disorder - but there are some good things. When the sun is out one can be pleased.


The spring flowering bulbs are moving


with the broccoli seedlings ready to go in


Citrus are ripening


important


when the season needs more vitamin C.


The woodpile is reducing


making room for the prunings that will come from the trees that are now ready for it.


The autumns leaves have almost stopped falling meaning that raking the garden actually tidies it and the rakings and green prunings go beautifully into the compost ready for spring.
