And so we wait…

Still quiet. Early February, weather still holding things back and oh how I long for better weather. As well as generally improving one’s mood, there are so many jobs and ideas that need a break in the frost and rain cycle that we seem stuck in; the occasional sunny day isn’t helping. The plants in the greenhouse – triffids (lilies), fuchsias, a buddleia cutting that we took, some herb seeds, and loads of other stuff – are all thriving but aside from general maintenance stuff that takes little time at all, it’s all on hold. We have a few plants indoors as well, including an orchid and an aeonium. The latter gets shunted into the grrenhouse if the sunlight looks promising, but doesn’t get out for more than a single day very occasionally. My temperature records off the greenhouse just reinforce how grim the weather has been.
