Insert the cuttings, with the horizontal end just visible at the top, then cover with a thin layer of grit and water,' the team continues. 'From then on, keep the compost moderately moist – don't overwater it or the roots may rot. When cleaning sidewalks made of paving stones, be careful not to damage the ground too much when removing ice. It is discouraged to use salt, and chemicals, as they can easily get into the garden vegetation. To make sure that paths and sidewalks are not icy, you can sprinkle them with sand. I fear for the perennials when the temperatures drop suddenly before we have enough snow cover to protect the roots. Without snow, very cold temperatures can freeze the soil deeper and deeper. In wintry climates, this could lead to damage of root systems of trees and shrubs.Snow prevents extreme cold temperatures from harming plants.

Hunter Valley Gardens transforms into an icy adventure full of fun and frosty activities for children of all ages! There were bird prints all over the garden, which always makes us feel happy in the knowledge that we have created a garden that they want to spend time in. Flowers with hats on!Once the leaves have fallen, take a hand fork and carefully tease the soil from around the plant to expose some of the roots,' they advise. Using a sharp knife or your best secateurs, remove some of the roots near to the main stem – 'any that are at least ¼" in diameter and as long as possible – but don't take too many or it weakens the plant.

The local churchyard was so atmospheric, and more peaceful than usual. I love how the snow highlights the bare winter branches of the trees. Everything just looks so pretty! I love how the snow sits on all those individual leaves of the bamboo. And the little yew tree, looks like a little belated Christmas tree. There’s certainly no physical gardening gone on this week! The snow came on Monday night and there’s still a little around where the sun hasn’t reached.

Also, keep in mind that snow can adversely affect shrubs and trees. Branches become bent, and in some situations, there will be a process of breaking. With smaller, weaker shrubs, you can even expect branches to break off. Thus, shrubs so damaged, will not be suitable for anything.

I did hear someone mention snow last week, but I didn’t realise it was for our area. We don’t really get very much these days, and when we do it doesn’t normally last that long.Its always so funny seeing the cats reaction to it. They meow to go out, I open the door, and they just stand there, as if to say, “you can’t be serious!”. Sooner or later though they take the plunge, shaking each paw as they walk. They don’t usually stay out very long! Dreaming of the snow The golden grass of ‘Karl Foerster’, still stands erect, despite the wind rain and now snow. It will stand there until we cut it down at the first sight of new growth. The White Garden
