If you're talking about Hellebores, then yes that's when I chop mine too.

Morning all it was a very cold night here and very frosty ,in for another cold spell .

 

[alp]

Heavens were throwing fluffy balls or puffs for half an hour .. Very pretty.. so really can't go out. Besides, the garden is now slippery!

@Logan: so you don't cut off all the big leaves. Old meaning spotted diseased or just too big and last year? Please elaborate.

Upsy: Big day for you tomorrow then! I need to get some salmon, but most of them are farmed and that is not very nice. Would rather go to the sea and catch some mackerels.

 

[Logan]

@alp all the leaves, only leave the flower stems. They'll grow new ones later.

 

[alp]

The miniaturist is BRILLIANT!

 

[alp]

Logan: when you say all the leaves, does it the small new leaves as well?

 

[Logan]

If you've got new leaves,no leave them. I have only the old ones.

@Upsy Daisy I hope Christmas and New Year will be over for you soon. Seeing you zipping around worries me. May you have a lovely day today!

Good morning to everyone and especially to Logan and boys.. just replaced the hot water bottle in the sunlounge and checked the candle in the lean to. Don't know how much they helped as the cold has been serious. There is a layer of white on the pavement. Sun will be out today. I hope those without power will have it restored soon. Saw this Canadian complained about being stuck in the motorway and she said that this happened all the times in Canada and yet something like this here has plunged the country into a standstill ..

 

[alp]

Have you lot taken any desperate measures to warm up your plants in the winter?

I really hate winter as I always lose plants during winter. Too wet, too cold.. My lean-to is moudy again.

Morning......and what a frosty but pretty one we have !

@alp, please don't worry yourself, I've had a really lovely Christmas.The lead up to it was great fun , as not working this year allowed me to fit in lots of pre Chistmas catch up with friends
Visited middle son and girlfriend and got treated to a lovely Lebanese meal out . And lastly had our other two boys down for Christmas....sadly they are returning to London on Friday Hubs, as usual, has been in charge in the kitchen.......so all in all I've been very spoilt..
I usually do a family get together lunch nearer to the New Year, but as sons won't be here then I decided to do it earlier so as to include them.

Have a Terrific Thursday everyone
