We had quite a bit of frost last night (Sat/Sun 4/5 Jan) The grass was
very
white this morning at the front of the house and at the time of
writing
which is 1250, it still. Brrrrrrr!
How's everyone else doing - no damage done, I hope?

I was told some moons ago that there hadn't been a frost in that garden
for 25yrs.

Ah well, you'd have to talk to my husband about that. He's only owned it
for 22 years.

Still snowing in Suffolk as well.....

Just popped outside and my monstera deliciosa (yes ... the swiss cheese
plant!) is still green and upright underneath it's layer of snow.

I've just checked the final figures before an almost imperceptible
rise in temperatures. The lowest here so far this winter was minus
0.5C (just inside freezing) on Saturday/Sunday night when we had
little or no wind. Since then it has remained at 2C by night and
struggled to between 4 and 6C by day. The wind chill factor has made
this feel almost unbearable, but looking at the plants, they seem to
have come through remarkably well. I must be getting soft in my old
age!

Totally spry and utterly perky looking is Plectranthus 'Sasha' - the
variegated form named (and mis-spelled) after Sacha here. Such a
cheery mat of almost pink tinged, creamy variegated foliage. I'm
going to plant this widely on top of a stone wall for the coming year,
it will make a wonderful foil for other plants.
