A Slap Of Winter

The dung piles are in full bloom.



















Deadnettle, Lamium purpureum, on Dung.





















The Under Garden has a new layer for spring. It's season of interest is expanding.




















It is safe to say the garden as a whole has reached a new stage of maturity.




















I'm liking it. The expanses of time when nothing needs doing to maintain it are growing




















The view from my window in a cold rain before a quick slap of winter in the night.




















This morning it was covered in snow. This afternoon it is a Find The Difference puzzle.



















There is a sunny difference here too.





















Deadnettle, Chickweed and Dandelion are all edible. This is something I need to learn how to do. And they all look quite happy after a quick slap of snow.

You are lucky you have a large expanse for the deadnettle to flounce around in. If unchecked in my garden it covers things and kills them. I don't like it. The dandelions look so cheerful in this gloomy cold weather.

I pull deadnettle in proper gardens Lisa. In the dung piles it is just a green manure cover crop.
