Winter's a pretty quiet time in the garden, especially this year as I haven't grown many winter veg. I did get my first harvest of kale the other day though - went into a lovely minestrone. The snow peas are also starting to produce nicely but no pictures of them.

My Chilean jasmine is hanging in there in the cold. It doesn't like it - it's dropped a fair few leaves - but it's also putting out fresh growth at the tips so I'm optimistic for the summer.

And finally, the first stirrings of spring are beginning - my fancy daffs are just starting to emerge. They're still just tiny shoots so I circled it in the picture - not that you can see it anyway!

I do have some major pruning projects happening, and a complete re-do of the patio, but I'll save those for other posts.
