Christmas Narcissi and Anemones

Afternoon Bloomers,

Anemones and Narcissi - a few stems
 that survived the cold

The snow has almost gone now just in time for another snowfall forecast for this weekend.  At least with this slightly warmer spell we have been able to 'take stock' and see how and what have been affected by the cold weather.

We've had quite a few casualties.  The outdoor Chrystanthemums have been pretty much wiped out and destroyed.  Thankfully we took plenty of cuttings a few months ago and most of those have survived inside the polytunnel and on windowsills dotted about the neighbourhood.

Other casualties are most of the 'forced' cut flowers that we have been tending to in the hope of them being ready in time for Christmas week.  All of the Daffodils, most of the Anemones, and a fair few of the Narcissi have all stopped growing.  Many have been attacked by the ice/frost and we have set up a special 'poorly plant hospital' in an effort to rescue and nurse some of the plants/bulbs back to life.  Fingers crossed they bounce back to life.

Not much to report this week I'm afraid.  We're just busy trying desperately to save things and also fulfil the orders that we have taken.

Off to deliver wreaths and other lovely Christmassy arrangements.
